The All Progressives Congress will choose its presidential candidate through an indirect primary election.

The decision was reached at the party’s 11th National Executive Committee meeting holding at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja.

Also, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and other leaders of the party transmitted their powers to the National Working Committee of the APC to make decisions for a period of 90 days.

Among those who will be contesting the APC Presidential primary are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu; the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi; and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

Others in the APC who are rumoured to be nursing Presidential ambitions include Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Kayode Fayemi; the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige. The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, is also considered a contender.

looks like tinubu still stands a chance cos he has lots of admirers in Kano and sw

Any voting puts tinubu at chance

Only consensus can tip him off

Some people who ordinarily should be in the romance, sexuality or celebrity section would be here discussing and analyzing politics. It's so unfortunate!

Most people have been schooling them on how the primaries would go, but they've been depending on a non-existent "anointing".

Now that the President and NEC have given the NWC the go-ahead to do whatever they like, this indirect primary method for electing the Presidential candidate has come to stay and all the aspirants must go to the field to test their popularity.

And we all know that if APC conduct their primaries ten times, Tinubu would emerge as the Presidential candidate of the party ten times on a Wednesday afternoon (according to that weed smoker from my state).

So unfortunate some people are gonna wail till 2032.

Why una be mumu... Boasting over nothing

You think for buhari and APC chairman to agree on that, plans has not been made?

You can't even wait till the primaries hold first and see the outcome before shouting tinubu is the next president.

Later you guys will claim to know politics

Good morning Truthisunique2. Let me guess, Buhari has an undisclosed plan to overrule NEC and present Amaechi as consensus candidate, right?
