ADC has best organized primary elections – Sam Amadi rates APC second

Socio-political commentator, Sam Amadi, has claimed that the African Democratic Congress, ADC, conducted the best primary elections, citing the party’s structured leadership.

Amadi, who claimed that most of the primary elections by political parties were “flawed and fraudulent,” said the All Progressives Congress, APC,” is close second.”

In a post on his official X handle, Amadi claimed that aside from the ADC and APC, other primaries are jokes.

He wrote, “So far @ADCNig has been the best in organising primary elections. On the whole, the primary elections have been flawed and fraudulent. But the leadership at the ADC has been more organised and structured. It has delivered the best primary elections in this electoral cycle.

“@OfficialAPCNg is close second. It was bold, ambitious, but reckless and fraudulent. Its primaries were less efficient and more fraudulent. But kudos for APC being bold and largely coherent.

“If I did not mention you, then it means yours was a joke.

“There is no way to have a good direct primary without clear rules, good systems and protocols. You cannot have a direct primary if you do not know how to determine a member of a party.

“We should not have primaries in one day. It should take weeks or months to have meaningful elective primaries”.

Amadi is a supporter of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential hopeful, Peter Obi.

NDC is currently conducting its primary elections nationwide.
