Dr Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress(APC), has revealed that the party primary is not a true avenue of picking its candidate but through a selection by party leadership.
Basiru made the disclosure in a viral video, where he appeared to be holding a meeting with members of the party.
Thefrontrank reports that the APC national secretary who was speaking in Yoruba language in the video, said the party candidates for President, Senate and House of Representatives will be uploaded by the National Secretariat.
Basiru described the mockery of some aspirants for not winning primary as a mere joke.
“If you claim candidate(s) did not win primary, who will upload the name(s), it is mere child’s play. Claims that someone emerge in primary is a ruse, we know there was no primary.
“We don’t hold primary in our party. We pick those that we want to pick. The claim of a winner of a primary is false,” he said.
In the said video, Basiru asked a former lawmaker if he emerged through a primary, and the lawmaker replied that he was picked inside the government house.
