With few hours to the kickoff of the 2022 APC Convention, The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu has announced Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the consensus presidential candidate of the party.
He made this announcement at the meeting of the National Working Committee in Abuja stating that the decision was made after consultation with President Muhammadu Buhari.
This choice was however not well received by members of the NWC as reports have it that members kicked against the move and insisted that other Presidential aspirants must be allowed to contest the primary election at the convention scheduled to commence tomorrow at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
This announcement goes contrary to the position of 11 APC northern governors who endorsed that power must shift to the South after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
