KenOne:
Let the truth be told Tinubu and Oshiomhole decided the direct primaries thing without consulting the governors, ministers and leaders of the party who are major stakeholders and financiers in various state, the reason the governors and others will kick against it because they were never carried along.

Oshiomhole's trying to whittle down the powers of the governors, ministers will back fire because these are foot soldiers of the party and president, if they decide not to work for the party and president failure is already starring at the party and Buhari.

Princeofnigeria:
.so is PDP that's built on a strong foundation right?

Ode I pity youths like you on nairaland and other platform fighting for this politicians that only know themselves


People like sarki, have you seen oshomhole and saraki children insulting themselves? They are not even in Nigeria and they won't vote for their parents.



The problem of this country is the youths just like you and sarki, since you people have refused to use common sense you people will continue in suffering.

Everyday I read news on nairaland I just shake my head, idiots fighting over tinubu, obi, buhari etc and you can never hear this politicians children talking about their parents or even see them vote.



God will punish shameless Nigeria youths that have sold their soul for peanut in the name of politics.

We need revolution in this country

chriskosherbal:
Some current Governors feel direct primaries is an embarrassment and insult to them...well we will see as events unfold ..


Politics hmmmm


Meanwhile I am recommending my signature for your consumption now in lagos

Dinho20:
BUHARI IS USING 2023 ELECTION TO DECEIVE IBOS, NOT KNOWING THAT HE IS PLANNING TO
INSTALL WICKED TINUBU AS PRESIDENT COMES 2023. THEIR EVIL PLANS HAVE BEEN
EXPOSED.
IGBOS CAN NOW SEE THAT BUHARI IS VERY WICKED, HE WANTS TO USE IBOS TO ACHIEVE
HIS SECOND TERM BID AND DUMP THEM, THANK YOU SARAKI FOR EXPOSING THE EVIL
PLANS OF BUHARI AND TINUBU. IGBOS ARE NOW WISE. BUHARI IS THE ENEMY OF IGBOS.

seborrhic:
Apart from it whittling down the powers of governors,has anyone even thought of the logistics of organizing direct primaries?
Assume 200,000-300,000APC party members in Lagos.
How do you get 200,000-300,000 to vote at a single venue at the same day without pandemonium ensuing?

Uchemus:
please, what's the difference between consensus and Direct primaries?

kaorama:
May both of them jam and crash.

MrPolitics:


Consensus is when all the party leaders or members agree to put 1 candidate forward for the position. Like how PDP did with Jonathan in 2014. There were no primaries because all the leaders agreed to put him forward

In-direct primaries or delegate primaries is when the members of party nominate delegates from each ward that will represent them to vote in an electoral primary. This is the most common system in Nigeria. For a presidential primary, members from each state which could be in thousands will come together and nominate maybe 100 people (or whatever number is required) that will represent them and vote for the candidate of their choice.

Direct primaries is when every card carrying member of the party is allowed to vote tand determine who wins the primaries.
This takes longer and is more expensive as the big parties usually have members in tens to hundreds of thousands in each state.
Each of APC and PDP have over 1 million members nationwide and all of them would have to vote in a direct primary system.
If done right, it's the best system and hard to manipulate as it is hard to pay or force 1 million people to vote for you as against 5000 in indirect primaries

You obviously don't know how it works. Maybe you should've asked.
