A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission against stampeding the various political parties over the conduct of their primaries.
According to him, the insistence of INEC that political parties must conclude their primaries before June 3, 2022, is not what the electoral body should impose.
“Party primaries are an integral part of the democratic process, and it is bewildering that INEC is not even interested in debates between aspirants, which remains a huge opportunity to define party platforms”, he said in a statement on Thursday.
