The governor noted that the direct primary adopted by Imo APC in the choice of its Candidates had exposed paper tiger Politicians in the State who were afraid of testing their Popularity even among the Party members they claimed they belong.
He said that the Imo APC would continue to adopt Direct Primary as its Culture in the choice of Candidates and would have also preferred option A4 for the main election so that Nigerians can know popular Politicians who are in touch with their people and those whose Politics begins and stops at the federal capital territory Abuja and on the social media.
