Supporters of Senator I. D. Gyang have called for a review of the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary election results in Plateau North, alleging irregularities in the conduct of the exercise.

In a statement issued by the Director General of the I. D. Gyang Campaign Council, Comrade Lot Adas, the group expressed concern over what it described as a lack of transparency in the primary process.

The statement claimed that the outcome of the exercise did not reflect the wishes of party members, insisting that credible internal democracy must be upheld to preserve trust within the APC.

According to the group, party strength is rooted in grassroots participation, warning that any process that sidelines members’ votes could weaken unity and confidence in the party structure.

It further alleged that the Plateau North senatorial primary was not conducted in a manner consistent with due process, describing the results as unacceptable to many stakeholders within the constituency.

The supporters urged the APC leadership to ensure fairness and justice by reviewing the conduct and outcome of the primaries in line with party guidelines and democratic principles.

They also referenced ongoing considerations by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), expressing hope that the leadership would take corrective action after reviewing reports from relevant committees.

While calling for a review, the group appealed to party members and supporters to remain calm and peaceful, stressing that their demand is rooted in fairness, equity, and respect for internal democracy.

The statement reaffirmed commitment to the unity and progress of the APC in Plateau North, while insisting that only a credible and transparent process can strengthen the party ahead of future elections.

Super Falcons head coach Justin Madugu has defended his player selection and tactical decisions ahead of Nigeria’s crucial Group C encounter against Zambia at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The ten time African champions are under pressure following their disappointing 3-2 defeat to tournament debutants Malawi in their opening match.

The outcome of that has intensified scrutiny of the coaching crew’s team selection and tactical approach.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Friday, Madugu insisted that every selection is based on players’ performances in training, tactical requirements and the specific demands of each opponent.

“We have very versatile players in this team. Every player selected is chosen for a reason,” Madugu said.

“The choices we make are based on what we observe in training, the physical condition of the players and the tactical plan for each game. We take full responsibility for every decision.”

The coach acknowledged the disappointment of the opening defeat but maintained that Nigeria still controls its destiny in the competition.

“We still have our fate in our hands. We have corrected the mistakes from the last game and we are fully focused on the challenge against Zambia,” he added.

Madugu also revealed that the technical crew has worked on tactical adjustments aimed at improving the team’s defensive organisation and attacking efficiency ahead of the must-win fixture.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie and forward Uchenna Kanu expressed confidence that the squad has moved on from the setback against Malawi.

Nnadozie urged Nigerians to continue supporting the team, insisting the players remain united and determined to bounce back, while Kanu said the atmosphere in camp remains positive despite the opening loss.

Nigeria face a formidable Zambia side that began their campaign with an emphatic 6-0 victory over Egypt.

Victory for the Super Falcons would revive their hopes of reaching the knockout stage, while another defeat would leave their qualification chances hanging by a thread.
