At least as the governor who has gone through a series of elections, my election to the office during my first term was via a direct primary that took place in all the 177 wards in my state. And my election to my second term in office was via an indirect primary,\u201d Fayemi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019ve tasted both. And I can tell you that it really doesn\u2019t matter to any governor whether you have primaries via direct mode or indirect mode. Governors\u2019 concern is that opportunities are given for an inclusive process. And I think that is what Mr. President\u2019s letter has brought out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. President has not objected to direct primaries, neither has he endorsed indirect primaries. He has only said \u2018be fair to all; let all options apply and what you decide should be determined by your own local and peculiar circumstances\u2019. Being mindful of questions of security, finances, and internal democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I think we all should commend the courage of Mr. President to stand with the people. And the president, you know, just like me, is not afraid of whatever mode you decide to use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I chaired the primaries \u2014 the historic primaries that brought him in as a presidential candidate \u2014 I was the chair of that primaries in 2014. It was an indirect primary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut in 2019, when he was coming back, he came back via direct primary. So, Mr. President has also tasted both. And I don\u2019t think he\u2019s somebody to be lectured about the pros and cons of either process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor said what is important is to ensure that whatever mode of primary chosen \u201cprovides a process that is as free a manner as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDirect primaries have their own challenges; indirect primaries have their own challenges. A consensus approach is also not without challenges, but options should be provided,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor of Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari should be commended for the decision he took on the electoral act amendment bill.
