The Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yobe State, Alhaji Mohammad Gadaka, has described the party’s presidential primary that brought President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to power as an exemplary model of democratic practice.
Speaking on Saturday at his ward of Goge collation centre in Gadaka, Fika Local Government Area, Gadaka was present both to cast his vote and to monitor the conduct of the primary election.
Gadaka praised the exercise for its openness and adherence to democratic norms.
In a striking show of cohesion, all 8,490 delegates at the Goge collation centre voted in favour of President Tinubu. The unanimous decision, according to party insiders, underscored the widespread confidence that members have in the President’s leadership and the effectiveness of the APC’s consensus-building mechanism.
Addressing journalists after the voting process, Alhaji Muhammad Gadaka highlighted the peaceful and orderly nature of the primary, noting that it strictly followed democratic guidelines. He said the outcome reaffirmed the APC’s dedication to internal democracy and the collective voice of its members respectively.
“What we saw here today is democracy at work. Every delegate freely expressed their preference, and the result clearly shows the level of trust and support that President Tinubu commands across all tiers of the party,” Gadaka remarked.
The smooth conduct of the primary has further strengthened APC’s image as a party grounded in transparency, unity and the rule of law, while setting a high standard for future internal party elections at large.
