Zulum Supports Consensus Option for APC Primaries in

Zulum, a political advocacy group in Nigeria, announced that it will back the “Consensus Option” proposal for the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries. The consensus option calls for party leaders and stakeholders to agree on a single candidate for each elective position—such as governorships and legislative seats—rather than holding contested primaries. Zulum argues that this approach will reduce intra‑party disputes, prevent costly legal battles, and present a united front for the upcoming elections. The endorsement is part of broader calls within the APC to adopt consensus‑based selections to strengthen party cohesion. Views Nigeria
