A former Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress has declared his readiness to participate in either consensus arrangement or direct primaries as the party prepares for the upcoming governorship race in Adamawa State.

The former party chieftain said he is open to whatever selection method the party decides to adopt, stressing that internal democracy should guide the process of choosing candidates.

His comments come amid early political positioning ahead of the 2027 elections, as aspirants across various states begin to signal interest in key elective positions.

In Nigeria’s political system, parties often adopt either consensus, indirect primaries, or direct primaries to select candidates. Each method typically sparks debate among stakeholders depending on internal party dynamics and regional interests.

Observers say the Adamawa governorship race is gradually gaining attention, with political actors aligning and re-aligning ahead of official campaign activities.

The APC, one of the major political parties in Nigeria, is expected to play a central role in shaping the contest as aspirants begin to make their intentions known.

Political analysts note that early declarations like this are part of strategic positioning, allowing aspirants to build support within party structures ahead of formal primaries.

As the race progresses, attention will shift to how the party manages internal competition and whether consensus-building will be achievable in a highly competitive political environment.
