Adebayo Shittu, minister for communication and governorship aspirant in Oyo State, has rejected the indirect primaries as a way of choosing the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship flag-bearer in the state.

The National Working Committee, NWC, of the APC had on Tuesday approved the mode of primaries for Saturday, September 29,  governorship primary elections scheduled to hold across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Prior to this, there have been confusion on the kind of primaries states will adopt this weekend.

As expected, the development sparked off mixed reactions among aspirants and their supporters, with some accepting it and others rejecting it, depending on their political permutations.

Shittu, a lawyer by training, is going a step further by challenging the decision of the NWC at the court.
