Kogi guber: Group urges PDP to take cue from APC over primaries

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been urged to take a cue from the All Progressives Congress, APC, following the conduct of its primary election in Kogi State.

The National Democratic Front, NDF, made the remark while applauding the APC for adopting direct primary during its primary in Kogi State.

Recall that a former Auditor General of local government in the state, Usman Ododo, clinched the APC governorship ticket during the party’s primary election on Friday.

Ododo garnered 78,704 votes to defeat the six other contestants.

Reacting, Suleiman said the primary election was peaceful and calm, adding that the outcome was a true reflection of the decision of the faithful.

In a statement by its Secretary-General, Abdulkadir Suleiman, NDF described the exercise as free, transparent and fair.

He applauded the “APC, party leaders and delegates for their conduct throughout the exercise.”

According to Suleiman, the “success of the primary and congress is an indication that the APC is ready for governance.

The National Democratic Front, however, urged the Peoples Democratic Party to take a cue from the APC in Kogi.
