It’s Nomination Bazaar as APC Grants Automatic Tickets to All National Assembly Members
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that it will be granting automatic tickets to all its national assembly members seeking re-election.
This decision, according to the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, has the full backing of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement released earlier today, Ganduje revealed that the party’s leadership has decided to reward its loyal lawmakers with automatic tickets, citing their hard work and dedication to the party’s ideals.
This move is seen as a strategic attempt to retain the party’s majority in the national assembly and consolidate its power ahead of the upcoming general elections.
The chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum and Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma, has also weighed in on the matter, stating that he will abide by the party’s position on the issue. Speaking to the press yesterday, Uzodinma emphasized the importance of party unity and discipline, adding that he will work closely with the party’s leadership to ensure a seamless implementation of the decision.
The implications of this move are far-reaching, with many analysts predicting that it will lead to a significant reduction in the number of aspirants vying for national assembly seats on the APC platform.
While some have hailed the decision as a bold move to strengthen party loyalty, others have criticized it as a form of imposition that could stifle internal democracy and lead to discontent among party members.
As the APC continues to navigate the complex landscape of Nigerian politics, this decision is likely to have significant repercussions on the party’s fortunes in the upcoming elections.
With the opposition parties already crying foul, the APC will need to tread carefully to avoid any potential backlash from its own members and the electorate at large.
In the meantime, party faithful and stakeholders are eagerly awaiting further clarification on the modalities of the automatic ticket policy, even as the party’s leadership moves to consolidate its position ahead of the general elections.
One thing is certain, however: the APC’s decision to grant automatic tickets to its national assembly members has set the stage for a thrilling and potentially explosive electoral season.
