APC aspirants protest alleged imposition of Reps candidate

APC aspirants staged protests across several northern Nigerian states after the party’s National Working Committee announced the imposition of Senator Abdulaziz Yusuf Kashim as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the House of Representatives. The aspirants claim the decision was made without a primary election, violating party rules, and they are demanding a fresh, transparent primary to select the legitimate candidate. The protests have included sit‑ins at party offices, rallies, and legal challenges aimed at overturning the imposed candidacy. Views Nigeria
