And this landmark constitutional mandate of the direct primaries by our lawmakers is one of the major anchors of entrenching such a democracy,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is thus expedient to appeal to the conscientious leaders of our party and the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, President<br \/>\nMuhammadu Buhari to, as a matter of national urgency, assent to this very<br \/>\nimportant amendment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy assenting to this singular Act, Mr. President would not only be etching his name in gold but further enlivening his patent vision of a thriving democracy championed by the true wishes of the majority. With his unmistakable stance, we believe Mr. President would see this Act as a path to improving governance and installing true leaders across the length and breadth of our nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our solemn appeal to Mr. President, that appending his signature to this document enlarges our leadership fortune as a nation. Of course, we are not unmindful of the antics of the privileged minority within and out of our political party to upturn this landmark amendment to the Electoral Act; however, we can only be strengthened by our faith in the voices of the decent<br \/>\nmajority who have established the foundation of our political processes and that these leadership challenges do not represent the altruistic interests of the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not a coincidence that the same set of governors that oppose fiscal<br \/>\nindependence of local government system from their control are fighting tooth and nail to bury the direct primaries as a process of leadership selection. It is<br \/>\nevident where some of our leadership challenges are actually rooted. The question to ask then is: Does the true reflection of the wishes of the majority threaten any leadership that truly champions the interests of that majority?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay God strengthen our collective resolve to stand for what benefits the nation and pushes Nigeria ever relentlessly towards her greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group identified as the #ReviveAPC forum has hailed the national assembly for their &#8220;courage and forthrightness&#8221; in adopting direct primaries for all political parties in picking their candidates.
