Primary election in Nigeria is characterized by anomalies and irregularities to the extent that common man was left with no choice rather than “ALLAH YA ISA. It is a system of counter plot and machinations where simple minorities collude with vicious politicians and robbed a society for a complete political tenure. 

The recent introduction of direct primaries by APC is a multi-million dollar task that may not be taken lightly by those who invest heavily into the slavery transaction of delegate trading  where the highest bidder win the race, It is indeed an ill time to them particularly that state congress was conducted already in their favour. This will now give them a reason to do everything possible to disrupt the process or bring chaos that may lead to either cancellation or reverting back to the old system of delegate slavery. 

Nigerians should understand that a battle line has just been drawn between the forces of darkness who mastered the art of imposing candidates of  their choice and the masses who now have the liberty to decide who deserve what.

While commending the APC National Chairman Mr. Adams Oshiomhole for taking such a giant step towards emancipation of servitude in democracy, he should as well get ready to face reprehension from those who might felt cheated by this act of kindness to Nigerian masses. 

It will however add a great flavour to the process if the primaries will be conducted zone after zone so as to give room for total concentration and proper deployment of security personnel in order to ensure peaceful and smoother conduct of the new process. 

While congratulating Nigerians for the new political dawn in one of the political parties, I hope other political flat foams will emulate such a cunning transition from the reign of impunity to a state of liberty and social justice.
