The Lagos State chapter of the New Nigeria People\u2019s Party (NNPP) says it will adopt a consensus mode of primaries to choose its candidates for the July 12 local government election in the state.<\/p>\n
The Lagos State Publicity Secretary of NNPP, Mr Richard Benson, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Lagos.<\/p>\n
Benson said, \u201cWe are adopting the consensus approach for our primaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn places where we have many aspirants, we shall ask others to step down for the popular and strong aspirants to fly the party\u2019s flag.\u201d<\/p>\n
He, however, said that the date for the primaries had not been fixed , assuring that it would hold within the window provided by the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe are fully involved and participating in the local government election in Lagos.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to win some seats because we have areas where we are strong.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to win in ours; we will spring a surprise in the election.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked to list the party\u2019s strongholds , the spokesman said that he would not reveal the areas so as not to let out the party\u2019s strategy for the election (NAN).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
