All Progressives Congress (APC)’s national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu has assured that no aspirants would leave the party after its primaries.
He gave the assurance, while addressing a group of party members in the diaspora at a global virtual town hall session on “Intra-Party democracy for the Emergence of Best Candidates.”
Adamu, who was represented by a Special Assistant, Prof. Abdullahi Yau, said all the aspirants would be given the freedom to exercise their right as a Nigerian to contest, noting that everybody will be satisfied with whoever that will emerge from the primaries.
He noted that the party would put in place high-powered committee to handle all grievances.
He said, “Directly I want to tell you that after the primaries, none of the contestants or aspirants will leave the party. You can see that unlike the other parties extending weight, in our party all our aspirants are calm. Everybody is going left and right, trying to win votes for themselves.
“They will listen to you and provide for your needs. In this way, we can carry everybody along in the party.
“I can assure you that this is the most interesting part; the number of people who are contesting and we are going to give everybody a level playing ground where you can exercise your right as Nigerians to contest.
“And at the end of the exercise, just like what happened at the national convention, you will see that everybody will be satisfied with whoever emerges from the primaries.
“Unless you have a process that is not well coordinated, a process that is marred by irregularities, that’s when people will be aggrieved and will want to leave the party. If you’re allowed to exercise your right and you think there’s fairness in what’s going on in the party and you lose, I don’t think you will want to leave the party.
“I assure you that even if we are going to have such a scenario, where we are going to have aggrieved members after the primaries, the chairman and stakeholders of the party will ensure they reconcile everybody after the primaries.”
