Performance, according to the APC chairman, will play a significant role in determining who gets re-nominated. “The people and party members will judge those who have performed very well,” he said. While past achievements may influence support, they do not guarantee automatic re-nomination. The party will evaluate candidates based on their track record, public service, and alignment with party values.
The clarification comes amid growing speculation and concerns from some lawmakers and political observers about potential preferential treatment for sitting members. Yilwatda’s statement aims to dispel such rumors and reaffirm the party’s commitment to merit-based and rule-driven candidate selection. By enforcing uniform standards, the APC seeks to prevent allegations of favoritism and promote a level playing field for all aspirants.
This stance underscores the party’s effort to maintain credibility and transparency ahead of upcoming elections. As Nigeria prepares for future electoral cycles, the APC’s emphasis on constitutional compliance and fair primaries sends a strong message to both members and the public. The party’s leadership is positioning itself as a defender of democratic processes, ensuring that every candidate earns their spot through legitimate means.
