 And same with the same issue, Femi Balana has said President Mohammad Ibohari is a beneficiary of direct primary. Balana, in a statement issued on Tuesday, said the APC had also adopted a direct primary for the emergence of its presidential candidate in 2019. His comment is in the wake of President Ibohari's refusal to sign the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law. The president had asked the National Assembly to remove the controversial clause on direct primaries from the bill and return the proposed law to him for ascent. But Femi Balana faltered to the president's decision, saying Ibohari is throwing away the baby with the bathwater.
