Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday said it had not adopted direct primaries method to pick its candidates for 2019 general elections.
APC was reacting to a claim by Senator Ajayi Boroffice, representing Ondo North Senatorial District, that the method would be used to determine the party’s standard bearers.
APC’s State Publicity Secretary, Alex Kalejaye, said Boroffice was not qualified to speak for the party on any issue, stressing that it was the responsibility of the state leadership to decide for the party.

His words: “It is the responsibility of the leadership of the APC to brainstorm, as it has been done elsewhere, and come up with a position that would be announced through the right channels.
“Ondo APC would consider all the available and legal options, and go for a popular one that does not hurt the interest of the stakeholders.
“The party appeals to aspirants at all levels to be guided by civilized rules in their quest for positions, and avoid creating the impression that there are divisions in the state.”
