A former House of Representatives member, Abdulmumin Jibrin, on Tuesday said the way the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) manages its upcoming primaries will determine the survival of the party post-2023.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Jibrin, the Director-General (DG) of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Support Groups Management Council (ABATSGMC), urged the party leaders to allow the choice of the people to prevail.
“I have said it repeatedly how the APC manage its upcoming primaries at every level (states and national) including Presidential will determine survival of the party. Anything short of allowing the choice of the people to prevail in the primaries will spell DOOM for the party!” Jibrin wrote on his verified Twitter handle.

This newspaper understands that the APC had penciled down May for the presidential primary, but would leave the exact date for the primary to be decided by the members of its National Working Committee (NWC), led by its National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
