They said the adoption of Direct Primaries by the Daniel Nwafor led State Executives is against the wish and demand of APC members which may mar the chances of the party in Imo State.

The Imo APC youths called on the National Working Committee of the party to immediately intervene to save the party from sinking in the State over Indirect Primaries.

The two groups spoke on behalf of their spokesmen, Hon Chukwuma Onuoha and Mazi Bernard Ifeanyi Nwadunna.

They stated that the decision of the Nwafor led Exco is autocratic and capable of marring the chances of the party in winning elections in 2019.

They said the demand of party members in the State is Direct Primaries as officially adopted by the National Executive of the APC.

Over 3000 Igbo Youths attended the meeting. They expressed their disappointment that the local government council election conducted on the 25th August, 2018 by the same Dan Nwafor led APC where no single Impolite came out to vote and some other political parties did not participate shows a bad omen
