A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a 2019 APC presidential aspirant, Chief Charles Udeogaranya, has advised the party leadership to perish the idea of a sole ticket, vowing to drag the party to court if it refuses to allow his aspiration to lead Nigeria in 2027 under the APC.

In a statement on Saturday, Udeogaranya said that even if he does not end up winning the party’s ticket, he would be happy that his party followed democratic principles to the letter.

He said his right to vote and be voted for is sacrosanct and fully protected by the Nigerian Constitution.

The politician maintained that his party, APC, must follow democratic principles and be seen to be a democratic party.

Udeogaranya stated that “democracy in reality translates to giving equal opportunity, privilege, and incentive to all.”

He queried, “Where then is the opportunity, privilege, and incentive for all members of APC when my party has already gone ahead endorsing a would-be aspirant who has not even declared his interest?”
