Yesterday, the national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, stirred controversy. He announced Senate President Ahmed Lawan as the choice of President Muhammadu Buhari.
This was interpreted by many as the party’s
“consensus candidate” as the President has asked the governors of the party and the presidential aspirants to consult and adopt the option.

Adamu told the party’s NWC that he had held consultations with Buhari and that he had the President’s mandate to inform the members. The pronouncement generated uproar within and outside the party, with many wondering if

some agents of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may not have invaded the APC national secretariat to cause last minute confusion, create disaffection among party leaders and weaken the platform ahead of the general election to pave the way for the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as president.

Those who nurse the fear pointed out that certain few defectors to the APC from the PDP may still be maintaining strong links with their former party, thereby constituting themselves into enemies within.

Few minutes after Adamu’s pronouncement , aggrieved APC Northern governors stormed Aso Villa to meet the president.

Alighting from the emergency meeting, they told reporters that ‘ on zoning to the South they stood, ‘rejecting Adamu’s unilateral declaration and its divisive and destabilising consequences.

It was evident that the NWC and governors now suspect the party chairman, following the loss of mutual trust and confidence.
