Ahead of the 2019 Presidential elections, the Benue State Chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has assured President Muhammadu Buhari of winning the state’s poll.
The APC State Chairman, Mr Abba Yaro, said this after the State Executive Committee (SEC) meeting on Sunday in Makurdi.
Yaro also revealed to pressmen that direct primaries won’t be possible in the state because of the absence of a comprehensive membership register.
Yaro added that the decision was reached after due consultation with the party’s stakeholders in the state and National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
He said: “The Benue working committee wishes to state that the SEC has adopted the indirect primary mode of selecting the party’s flag bearers.
“Direct primary method is not applicable in the state due to absence of a comprehensive register of party members.”
