Consensus Isn’t The Problem, The Real Issue Is How It Is Implemented - Itodo
What we see in the buildup to primaries is an organized process that concentrates decision-making in the hands of a few and gradually suppresses wider political aspiration, raising real questions about internal democracy; before the 2022 Electoral Act, nominations were mainly through direct and indirect primaries, but the introduction of “consensus” expanded elite control under political pressure from the Buhari administration.
