APC plans to mend broken hearts with promises before 2027 primaries

APC chieftain Farouk Aliyu acknowledges that disappointed aspirants after party primaries and consensus arrangements will need 'hearts mended' with promises, words, and possible appointments ahead of 2027 elections. Speaking Monday, Aliyu revealed the party's strategy: consensus arrangements where possible, direct primaries where consensus fails, emphasizing that governors may not always have final say in candidate selection despite previous promises. The approach reflects how APC will manage internal conflicts as aspirants compete for tickets—with party leaders prepared to engage and appease dissatisfied members through dialogue and incentives to maintain unity before the crucial 2027 elections. How might this appeasement strategy affect party cohesion when different stakeholders compete for influence and resources during candidate selection?
