The screening of presidential aspirants by the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier scheduled for today has been postponed.

This is coming on the heels of meetings President Muhammadu Buhari has scheduled with APC governors, National Assembly caucus and presidential aspirants towards arriving at a consensus presidential candidate for the party.

Daily Sun gathered that the leadership of the APC shifted the screening of presidential aspirants, pending the meetings President Buhari has lined up.

Just as it happened before the recent National Convention to pick APC National Chairman, sources revealed that President Buhari is aiming to achieve consensus in the choice of presidential candidate and would, in the meetings, unveil his preferred aspirant.

Sources revealed that the meetings would start with Governors, followed by National Assembly caucus and finally the Presidential aspirants.

Nobody knows the choice of President Buhari among the aspirants in the race for APC presidential ticket. Sources however revealed that the President, during the last trip abroad, made up his mind on who to support for the ticket and who would be running mate.

It was gathered that President Buhari, after unveiling his choice in the meetings, would push for consensus, just as it happened during the process of picking APC’s National Chairman.

After the President zeroed in on Senator Abdullahi Adamu as preferred National Chairman for APC, he held meetings with governors elected on the platform of the party and National Assembly caucus, where he told them the direction. Following that, other Chairmanship aspirants were persuaded to withdraw from the race.

Apparently, reading the writing on the wall, in choice of consensus candidate, a known aspirant from South West is believed to be making arrangements to defect to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) this week to pursue his presidential ambition.

The presidential aspirant, it was gathered, said in order to having satisfied himself that he pursued his ambition to the end, his name must be on the ballot in next year’s election.

On the aspirant President Buhari has elected to support, sources said he has interest in North, South East and South South and that the presidential ticket would have North/South South or North/South East combination or vice versa.

Aspirants in the race to pick the APC presidential ticket include Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo; APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; former Minister of Transportation, Hon Chibuike Amaechi; Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi and ex-Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu.

Other aspirants are former Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajuba; ex-Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio; former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha; former governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun and Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

Pastor Tunde Bakare; Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello; business mogul, Chief Tein Jack-Rich are also presidential aspirants in APC.

Same boring meetings.

Amaechi

Osinbajo

One of these four men is Buhari’s joker.

I don’t know who it will be but I do know it’s NEVER going to be Tinubu.

Tinubu and his urchins should be packing their things to SDP.

SDP hierarchy is about to get their own share of the largesse from Lagos funds.

Meanwhile, 2023 is promising to be a tough election…

Atiku as PDP candidate

Amaechi/Onu/Osinbajo/Nwajiuba as APC candidate

Kwankwaso as NNPP candidate and

Tinubu as SDP candidate

Who go win?

And hey, one last thing, keep an on Sen. Ken Nnamani. Buhari likes old people

Fake news. Tinubu is going nowhere.

Amaechi will be the consensus Presidential candidate while Lawan will be the Vice. You heard it here first!

let the child live , this was what proved Solomon a wise man . The real mother would rather see the child live in the custody of the other lady than be sent to the after life . You keep proving that the southeast are undeserving of the presidency.
You oppose zoning but want micro zoning if the south east invested as much as other regions in APC and had firm grounds in APC this won't be your view .
You get the logic now ?

Why would anybody who paid 100million settles for and accede to consensus candidature?

Biggest mistake APC will b making...which is good for us....cus that will mean they'll loose the election...many members will b aggrieved

Tinubu can't port to the SDP, he will be getting the ticket in the APC. If the other contestants do not agree to step down for the Jargaban, then they will all have to go and fight it out at the primaries.

People from the South East are just so funny

People who called APC an Islamic party, they now want the Islamic party to microzone to the South East, while men like Tinubu who have been working for the greatness of the party since 2013 should just step down for them.

Consensus can't work.

I know they will all meet at the party primary.

You and your kuli kuli brain...
The west won't let the child live too?
Between the West and East who need Nigeria more? If you cherish Nigeria as you always claim let the child live else we scatter it.
Your brain dey pain you.
If Nigeria divide today at least the north can go back to Agriculture, the south south can take there crude oil, the east can go back to commerce and there natural gas, hunger will kill the west.
The biggest parasite and unity begger in Nigeria is the waste, that is why they can betray any Southern region so as to steal power, they did it to Jonathan (south southerner), they still want to do it to the east, but we wise pass unah.
Common gettat abeg.
Power to the north until west get sense.

HON.CHUKWUEMEKA NWAIJIUBA is the chosen one

Upworkwriter007:


Tinubu should join Kwankwaso in NNPP.

I was looking at that possibility but I don’t think it would work.

Kwankwaso wants to be president.

Tinubu himself wants to be president.

Who will now step down for who?

And let’s assume Tinubu succeeds in buying the presidential ticket from Kwankwaso for the latter to run as his running mate, that would be Muslim/Muslim ticket and you know such ticket would be a cursed one.

In 1998, Alex Ekwueme formed and financed PDP until it became a formidable party.

It was taken for granted that he would be PDP candidate in the upcoming 1999 elections.

But Nigerians reached a consensus that the presidency should be conceded to the Southwest for 1993 mishap.

That was how Obasanjo was released from prison and handed the ticket of the party he did not sow in. He was never at the nocturnal meetings during the formative stage of the party but the ticket was handed to him.

But Ogbonnaya Onu and Rochas Okorocha were there from the start in the formative days of APC yet you lots will say Southeast did not invest in APC.

Ekwueme contested against Obasanjo in Jos, Obasanjo was not choosing through a consensus.

Is anyone stopping Onu and Okorocha from contesting against Tinubu?

It's no coincidence. APC postponed presidential aspirants screening indefinitely and now Buhari wants to meet the Govs, National Assembly members and presidential aspirants.

There's definitely something going underground

Yes!

The kind of contest that happened at APC convention in 2014 in Lagos abi?

Where Tinubu threw his weight behind Buhari to get the APC ticket…

But if them ask you, you will say that Atiku, Kwankwaso, Okorocha and Sam Nda Isaiah contested as well but you will not mention that Buhari would have failed woefully if Tinubu did not endorse and work for him.

The problem with you people is that you lie to yourselves a lot. You something as clear as noon day and called it midnight while expecting others to join you in lying to themselves.

Nobody is stopping Tinubu and other Yoruba aspirants from contesting, Buhari is simply going to throw his weight behind who he likes and wants like Tinubu did for Buhari in 2014.

Chikina!

So have you seen me crying or lamenting about Buhari throwing his weight behind anybody he wants?

He can support anybody he wants, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will contest at the APC primaries in Abuja.

Nobody will stop Tinubu from contesting.All others will step down while he will be trounced against Buhari's eventual candidate.

Shebi no one stopped Ambode from contesting in 2019?

I think the sun newspaper and vanguard are competing for the prize of the most incomprehensible and junk journalism of the year award.

Yes, if he is eventually defeated in the primary, fine

But he won't step down for anybody unless the rest will step down for the Jargaban.

The Consensus has been sealed by Buhari/Adamu. Its just the presentation that matters.
Inside sources says Buhari is not comfortable handing over to a yoruba man because of their bad antecedents of bad blood and betrayal. The source went further to highlight how Buhari is so relaxed and comfortable with chibuike Amaechi. In fact sources say Buhari never eats nor sleeps without seeing Chibuike Amaechi.
