Says option not visible
The All Progressives Congress, (APC), has jettisoned the plan to use the consensus method in determining its presidential candidate.
The National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who made this known while speaking in Abuja, said the method that was used in electing party officers during the March 26, 2022 Convention would not be feasible for the Partys presidential primary, which begins on Sunday.
Adamu, who emerged as the APC chairman in March after President Muhammadu Buhari endorsed him and asked other aspirants to step down for him, disclosed that a presidential primary was completely different from a chairmanship election.
However, the party has laid down its rules and regulations for the aspirants. We would scrutinise all of them based on our guidelines, to be sure that we pick the right candidate for the party.
The APC chairman, however, said the 28 aspirants ought to know that all of them cannot emerge as candidates for the Party.
We have 28 aspirants for the presidential ticket and everybody knows that all of them cannot get the ticket.
If it is Gods wish, they all can even be president of the country one after the other. Ours is to ensure justice in the choice of who emerges as the candidate of the party. That does not mean we are perfect. But we pray we do the right thing, he emphasised.
