Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC spokesman, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
Issa-Onilu said the decision was taken at a meeting of the party’s national working committee (NWC) which held on Friday.
“The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved Indirect Primaries to elect the Party’s candidate for the forthcoming Kogi Governorship election,” he said.
“The approval was given after a meeting of the NWC on Friday where a formal request from the Kogi State executive and stakeholders in preference for the Indirect Primary was considered and deliberated on.
