APC to Hold Direct Primaries in 8,809 Wards for 2027: Real Reform or Chaos?

The APC will abandon consensus and stage direct primaries across all 8,809 wards for its 2027 presidential ticket. This marks a major departure from decisions made by select delegates. Previous direct primaries in states like Edo and Lagos saw disputes over inflated figures and alleged ward-level manipulation. Can the party organize simultaneous votes in nearly 9,000 wards without breakdown? Is this a tactical move by the presidency to neutralize internal dissent, or a genuine effort to empower grassroots members? Join the discussion and share your predictions for 2027.
