Primaries of the All Progressives Congress held across several states on Wednesday produced a mix of returning and new candidates through consensus and direct primary elections, amid protests and allegations of irregularities in some areas.
In Kaduna State, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Dahiru Liman; Deputy Speaker, Magaji Danjuma; and Majority Leader, Munira Tanimu, secured APC tickets for the 2027 state assembly elections through consensus affirmation exercises held across the state.
The lawmakers emerged unopposed during separate primary exercises conducted in their constituencies.
Liman was unanimously affirmed as the APC candidate for Makera State Constituency during the party’s primary exercise attended by party leaders, electoral officials and supporters.
Declaring the result, the Returning Officer, Ezekiel Samuel Gode, said the Speaker emerged as the sole consensus candidate after securing affirmation across the five voting areas in the constituency.
