The battle for the presidential ticket of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) is going to be one of
the closest fought since the 1993 face-off between
Babagana Kingibe and MKO Abiola in the Social
Democratic Party (SDP), TheCable Verdict 2015
Panel has predicted.

At a meeting that went into the wee hours of
Wednesday, 12 APC governors reached a final
agreement to pitch their tent with Muhammadu
Buhari, former military head of state, but Atiku
Abubakar, former vice-president, is reaching out
directly to the delegates.

At the meeting, which took place at Adeola Odeku,
Victoria Island, Lagos, the governors who agreed
to support Buhari are: Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara),
Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe), Kashim Shettima (Borno),
Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa), Abdulfatah Ahmed
(Kwara), Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Abiola
Ajimobi (Oyo), Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Rauf
Aregbesola (Osun), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Aliyu
Wamakko (Sokoto) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers).
The two other governors, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
(Kano) and Rochas Okorocha (Imo), are also
gunning for the presidential ticket.

TheCable understands that Kwankwaso has been
persuaded to step down for Buhari, which he
agreed, but will still put up an appearance without
putting up a fight at the convention.

Atiku, on this part, is basing his calculations on the
fact that APC governors control only 14 states and
their influence in the remaining 22 states is not
strong.

TheCable understands that Atiku has zeroed in on
delegates from 16 states which they consider
winnable: Adamawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Benue,
Plateau, Bauchi, Jigawa, Taraba, Yobe, Delta, Abia,
Ebonyi, Enugu, Ekiti and Ondo ─ as well as the FCT.

In Atiku’s camp, the calculation is to deal directly
with the delegates, even from states controlled by
pro-Buhari governors.

With Atiku’s heavy war chest, the APC hierarchy
had become jittery about the high possibility of his
victory. As a counter-force, Amaechi ─ who is the
biggest financial backer of Buhari and is heavily
favoured to pick the vice-presidential slot ─ flew in
a heavy “war chest” to the pro-Buhari camp in
Lagos on Wednesday morning, sources told
TheCable.

The strategy in the pro-Buhari camp is to match
Atiku naira-for-naira and dollar-for-dollar. “Atiku
cannot just come in and pick the ticket after all the
hard work we did breaking up the PDP and setting
up the APC,” a southern governor told TheCable on
