Tinubu spoke at the Lagos APC secretariat in Ogba on Tuesday during the party’s stakeholders’ meeting. Present at the meeting were Governor Akinwunmi Ambode; Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudasiru Obasa; the Chairman of the Lagos State APC, Tunde Balogun, and other party stalwarts in Lagos. Tinubu, however, announced that the party’s candidates in Lagos State would be chosen via direct primaries. He charged party members to ensure they collect their PVCs before the August 17 deadline, saying they should sleep at the collection centres if they had to. In his remarks, Ambode described the direct primary being introduced by the Lagos APC as “the beginning of the uplift of governance in Nigeria.”Copyright PUNCH.
