Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says the party has activated internal mechanisms to reduce post-primary tensions ahead of the 2027 elections.
He stated this on Wednesday after meeting President Bola Tinubu in Lagos, briefing him on ongoing nationwide primaries.
“Everywhere, if you lose an election, it is not a rare thing. Emotions and sentiments exist when expectations are not met.
“We ensure early healing process so we can emerge victorious across the country in 2027,” he said.
Yilwatda described ongoing direct primaries as largely peaceful, organised and competitive, saying they remain extensive internal electoral exercise.
“Our guidelines on consensus are clear. Where consensus does not work, you go for direct primaries across states.
“The President was very impressed with logistics deployed nationwide and reduced incidents recorded,” Yilwatda said.
