• Southeast APC aspirants agree on regional consensus pick • Ohanaeze woos APC, PDP delegates to vote Igbo aspirant
The PDP and APC will hold their national conventions to nominate their presidential candidates in Abuja on May 29 and 30 respectively. The PDP has 15 aspirants left in the race after disqualifying two of the 17 that purchased its expression of interest and nomination forms, while the APC is set to screen 24 aspirants.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and read by Nnamani, the aspirants agreed to align with the decision of the party, which they said, would do the right thing and heed the clamour for power shift to the Southeast. In a statement in Abakaliki, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, insisted that only the Nigerian president of Igbo stock in 2023 from the seven Igbo speaking states, including Anioma in Delta and Ikwerre in Rivers, will be acceptable.
FORMER Speaker of the House of Representatives and APC presidential aspirant, Dimeji Bankole, has called for the adoption of “modified consensus” as the preferred method for the emergence of the party’s presidential candidate on Sunday. Drawing on history, the former Speaker noted: “The emergence of APC itself was a product of consensus, at critical points in the history of Nigeria, consensus had been used to break political logjams.”
The governor said Borno delegates have no preferred aspirant at the moment but they will vote for a credible candidate based on the preference of the President and their convictions. According to a statement by Senator Lawan’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, Ganduje gave the assurance on Saturday night while the Senate President was on a visit to see party delegates in Kano ahead of the upcoming primaries. The governor described Kano as a swing state in party primaries and even in presidential elections and declared that Kano would swing when it is ready to swing.
No fewer than 20 of the 28 presidential aspirants that filled the N100 million expression of interest and nomination forms are billed to be screened either today or tomorrow.
