The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) chapter in Lagos State has declared that it will choose its candidates for the upcoming local government elections on July 12 by using a consensus approach.

On Thursday, Mr. Richard Benson, the party’s Lagos State Publicity Secretary, announced this.

According to Benson, “We are adopting the consensus approach for our primaries.

“In places where we have many aspirants, we shall ask others to step down for the popular and strong aspirants to fly the party’s flag.”

Although he acknowledged that a precise date for the primary was still pending, he gave his word that the process will take place within the window of time established by the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission.

He added, “We are fully involved and participating in the local government election in Lagos.

“We are going to win some seats because we have areas where we are strong.

“We are going to win in our strongholds. We will spring a surprise in the election.”
