Coming as the third off-cycle governorship election in the country, the All Progressives Congress (APC) seems to have bitten more than it can chew preparatory to the November 8, gubernatorial poll in Anambra State. More than six billionaires have rebuffed the party’s attempt to use high nomination fees to limit the number of aspirants to a manageable number. LEO SOBECHI reports that the party has a tough choice on its hands whether to use direct or indirect primary to avert crisis.

Nine clear months to the November 8 gubernatorial contest in Anambra State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is already dominating the election environment as the main challenger to the incumbent All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

The legendary ‘federal might’, which gubernatorial gladiators perceive as the antidote to power of incumbency and dominance of state governors, has turned the previously languid opposition party into the cynosure of all.
