National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, said the par-ty’s leadership deliberately withheld final declarations of winners in the just concluded primary elections pending the review of petitions by the vari-ous appeal committees.
Yilwatda revealed that the ruling party had to jettison its plans to elect the standard bearer of the party for various elective positions through consensus arrangements because most of the aspirants kicked against it.
Yilwatda made the position known on Monday night during an interview on ARISE News.
