APC has refuted the news making the rounds that members of the House of Representatives will be granted automatic tickets to contest the forthcoming 2027 elections.

Observers, particularly members of the political party, have commended the party herachy for taking a timely decision before party is flooded by PDP lawmakers.

The polity is full of unpopular lawmakers who are looking to ride on the popularity the party may have to offer and cash in on the free ticket offer, if it exists.

They are not adding any value to any party. When they are elected in one, they decamp to the other to dodge the responsibility they owe that party, which makes it impossible for their constituents to challenge them during their term in office.

For Democracy's sake, everyone must go through the process to prove their popularity.

The easiest way to bring a party down is to give automatic tickets.

It usually produces unpopular candidates.
