The All Progressives Congress (APC) may have begun the process of building consensus if recent activities among some of the presidential aspirants of the party are anything to go by.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Tuesday in Abuja met with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal and the Zamfara State governor, Abdulazeez Yari, behind closed doors.
Punch reports that the meeting was earlier designed to be a meeting of the party’s presidential aspirants and party leaders from the north but former Head of State, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Sam Nda-Isaiah, who are the other APC presidential aspirants, did not attend the meeting.
A source told the newspaper that: “It is understandable that Kwankwaso could not attend because he just opened his campaign office earlier today, others could not attend for one reason or another but we will keep trying. You don’t expect to get instant results.”
A broader meeting of party leaders and aspirants is scheduled to hold in Abuja, on Thursday.

The best consensus for the APC in my opinion is PRIMARIES because the delegates(people) needs to make their choice and choose from the options available instead of the sitting room selection of candidate which is not democratic that we see in other political parties.
ReplyDeleteI believe the APC has passed the consensus option because it didn't going through the NWC or NEC. Atiku is still the most prepared candidate for the presidency and APC's best bet to Aso Rock because of his experience and wealth of ideas.
Change is needed in Nigeria. #ANigeriForAll.
