Primaries: APC dispatches materials for direct mode

The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has retreated from its consensus primaries plan in response to pressure from aspirants and grassroots members. Election materials were dispatched to all states, signaling a shift back to direct primaries. Protests occurred in states like Oyo against the imposition of candidates, and similar tensions were reported in regions such as Gombe and Nasarawa.
