2023 Presidency: APC Group Leaks Major Secret About Party’s Candidature, Zoning

The All Progressive Congress Mandate Group (APC-MG) has urged members of the ruling party and the general public to disregard any claim that the 2023 presidential candidacy has been zoned to the southern part of Nigeria.

The group appeal followed reports that the party had zoned its presidential candidate for the 2023 election to the region.

In a statement issued on Thursday, February 24, by the APC-MG’s national chairman, Sani Abdullahi, the group said the party at no point met to tip Senator Abdullahi Adamu as a consensus candidate for national chairmanship ahead of the Saturday, March 26, national convention.

the statement said some individuals have continued to parade themselves across the country as leaders of the party.

Abdullahi said these individuals have continued to arrogate powers to themselves by trying to decide the fate of the ruling party.

He added that these people do so without recourse to members of the APC scattered all over the country.

Governors working to destabilize the party

Abdullahi describing those promoting the “twin stories” of the endorsement and zoning in the media as purveyors of fake news and merchants of lies said the presidential flagbearer of the APC is something beyond governors including Nasiri El-Rufai or Kayode Fayemi or Mohammed Badaru can impose.

He said:

“APC-MG is challenging the PGF to publish adopted minutes of any APC meeting where it was agreed that the presidency should be zoned to any region of the country as they are now championing.

“Illegal agreements reached in covens cannot be allowed to supplant the democratic process that will take place at an elective party convention.”

He warned that the cartel of state governors within the APC is working towards personalizing Nigeria for their own selfish gains which well-meaning Nigerians should do well to stand against at this point.

APC-MG further called on Nigerians to take interest in what is going on within the party and join to demand transparency and accountability in the APC’s internal political process.

APC chairmanship tussle: Group issues strong warning to northwest governors

A group has called on northwest governors to desist from name-dropping Muhammadu Buhari as a candidate for the chairmanship position of the APC.

The Concerned APC North-West Stakeholders said the party’s national convention scheduled to hold on Saturday, March 26 should be an elective one.

According to the group, an election at the APC national convention will enable delegates can carry out the wishes of party members.

Buhari reportedly endorses former northern governor as APC chairman ahead of the convention

Senator Abdullahi Adamu, former governor of Nasarawa State, is allegedly President Buhari’s choice to emerge as APC’s national chairman.

Anonymous sources said the president told the APC governors at a meeting at the State House on Tuesday, February 22.

Some of the major aspirants contesting for the APC chairmanship seat have reacted to the choice of the president.
