APC Youths Protest Imposed Candidate in Kwara Primaries

In the lead‑up to the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries in Kwara State, a group of young members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) staged a protest after the party’s leadership announced a single “imposed” candidate for the governorship race. The youths, who had been campaigning for an open, competitive primary, gathered outside the APC secretariat in Ilorin, chanting slogans and demanding that the party allow a fair contest rather than hand‑picking the nominee. Their demonstration highlighted internal dissent within the APC over the perceived top‑down selection process. Views Nigeria
