Shock As Adamu Announces Lawan as Consensus APC Presidential Candidate; Says He Consulted Buhari

By Gideon Njoku

 

In consultation with President Muhammadu Buhari, National Chairman of  the All Progressives Congress, APC, has announced Senate President, Dr Ahmad Lawan as the Party’s Presidential Consensus candidate.

The announcement made by Adamu  Monday, at the meeting of the APC National   Working Committee, has shocked not a few people, and destabilised Party stakeholders.

On Saturday, 11 APC Northern Governors and other Northern leaders, had in a statement, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to endorse that the Presidential seat rotate to the South for fairness and stability of the country.

Lawan is from Yobe, North- East. Incidentally, the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, from Adamawa, is also from North-East.

Opinion is that this could wreck the APC, and make nonsense of its Presidential Primaries against Tuesday.
