Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Yakubu Mahmood, on Thursday met with the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations and Communications on the indirect primaries.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the House had resolved that committees should meet with the INEC Chairman over the indirect primaries.<\/p>\n

The resolution was made last week after a motion by Leke Abejide from Kogi State.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Muktar Batera, while briefing journalists, said lawmakers discussed the cost of direct primaries.<\/p>\n

Batera said the INEC Chairman informed that lawmakers \u201cpolitical parties have the responsibility on primaries and the funding of the primaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also speaking to journalists, Mr Mahmood said the commission is yet to determine the cost of direct primaries.<\/p>\n

On the recommendation of the Commission to President Muhammadu Buhari on direct primaries, he said \u201cA letter was submitted to the President. I can\u2019t divulge what I told the President.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nigerians are still awaiting the response of the President on the bill.<\/p>\n
