The National Working Committee members of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), are presently divided over nomination of a consensus presidential candidate for the party
It was gathered that Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu announced Senate president Ahmad Lawan as APC consensus presidential candidate during the meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, on Monday, in Abuja.
But, his announcement didn’t go down well with some members of the NWC as they reportedly kicked against the move and insisted that other Presidential aspirants which include Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Vice president Yemi Osinbajo, Engr David Umahi and Dr. Kayode Fayemi must be allowed to contest the primary election at tomorrow’s convention scheduled at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
Adamu’s adoption of Lawan as consensus candidate is against the position of 10 APC nothern governors who endorsed that power must shift to the South after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
According to Adamu, he arrived at the choice of Lawan after consultating with President Buhari.
Although, President Buhari has maintained his position on the consensus arrangement, no agreement has been reached.
More details soon……
