While speaking, Lawan said that the party leadership has advised the use of consensus.

He, however, noted that the committee will conduct elections into the state executive offices in a situation where the party failed to agree on consensus.

Lawan who addressed journalists at the Oke Ado secretariat of APC on Friday said, “Insha Allah, God’s willing, it will hold tomorrow. I had met the stakeholders, I told them why we are here. I told them that we are going ahead to conduct the primary this weekend.

“The mandate given to us by the APC national leadership is to have consensus.

“That is the mandate given to us by the party. But, if they are not able to agree on consensus, we will go to the field.

“Whether consensus or no consensus, we are going to have the congress tomorrow.

“We came with the delegates list, the ward congress and I have handed over the list to the chairman of the party.

“I handed it over to him in the presence of all the stakeholders.”
