There are feelers that some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who are one way or the other unhappy with the presidential candidate of the ruling party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may either sit on the fence or work against him in the 2023 election.


DAILY POST reports that some stakeholders of the party fell out with the former Lagos State Governor after he clinched the APC presidential ticket during the June 8, 2022, primary elections.

Recall that prior to the party’s national convention, which produced Asiwaju as APC flagbearer, National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu had announced Senate President, Ahmad Lawan as APC consensus presidential candidate.


The move was, however, swiftly antagonized by some governors and party members believed to be loyal to Asiwaju who insisted on a Southern presidency.

Similarly, some members of the National Working Committee, NWC, kicked against the move and insisted that other Presidential aspirants, including Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Engr. David Umahi and Rotimi Amaechi must be allowed to contest the primary election.

Tinubu, who was finally declared winner of the indirect primary election, told Ahmad Lawan during his victory speech at the Eagles Square, Abuja that the lawmaker can now lick his wounds.


According to him, “I’m a little agitated that you contested against me, but thank you, you can now lick your wounds.”



Tinubu scored 1,271 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Rotimi Amaechi, who polled 316.

An APC chieftain, Dr. Martins Apeh, who spoke with DAILY POST in Abuja on Saturday, claimed that the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo actually rejected the offer to be included in the recently released APC Presidential Campaign Council.

According to him, the vice president and the former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi have no confidence in Tinubu’s candidacy and would distance themselves from the campaign.


He said, “You see, Osinbajo believes in the New Nigeria Project, he doesn’t believe in the old politicians who may not have anything to offer to Nigerians but only see power as property that can be acquired.

“When Osinbajo lost the primary election, he stated clearly that his dream to support a New Nigeria has not changed. That should send a message to you and other Nigerians. Don’t be surprised if the VP makes a big announcement to support a candidate of another party”.

On the former Rivers State governor, Martins opined that “Amaechi is still very angry with the party on what played out during the APC primary. It was a shock to him and other Nigerians.”

He said Amaechi, Osinbajo and Lawal “may work for the presidential candidate of another party”, stating that those who want the country to work again will not jeopardize another four years in the “hands of people they don’t believe can deliver”.

DAILY POST earlier reported that there was an indication that the immediate past minister of Transport, Amaechi, may not accept his appointment as the Special Adviser on Infrastructure of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.

Recall that Amaechi had in July 25 said in Port Harcourt that the delegates who voted Tinubu during the APC presidential primary were regretting their decision.

According to Amaechi: “Those who voted at the APC primaries, who are they? They are ordinary Nigerians. The small money they got solved their immediate problem, now they are saying they made a mistake, you are now hearing different things.”

Another chieftain of the party, Mr Patrick Okwori, who spoke with our correspondent, alleged that the cabals in the presidency were not happy that Tinubu clinched the party’s ticket.

“Even some of us that are trying hard to push our party even to the grassroot levels, we are doing it not because of any candidate but because it is our party and the party must work.

“We have several stakeholders who are not happy that the party is fielding Muslim-Muslim ticket. If either Amaechi of Osinbajo had won the primary, the campaign would have been very easy because they are Christians and getting a Muslim northerner would have been a simple thing”, he added

Delusional people.


Always making conclusion base on their wishful thinking of infighting in the APC. You can keep dreaming when bornu,yobe,kebbi, gombe,kastina, and kaduna votes start trooping in, in millions. A combine votes of almost 12m+


Una head go correct....

This is what the greed of emilokan is causing. No wonder the proposed meeting with all the APC presidential primary contestants failed to hold because of various grievances.

Just as was the case with the PDP in 2015, the final destruction of APC will come from within the party. Atiku and Tinubu dollarization of the presidential primary will all have ripple effects.

Ok

TINUBU WILL NEVER RULE NIGERIA

Una head go correct....

Delusional people are the ones that believe that Tinubu will win PDP controlled states of Osun and Oyo but dont believe that Atiku has chances in APC controlled states in the north...

See how you are allocating 12 million votes to Tinubu already... .. Wishful thinking of inheriting Buhari's blockvotes even when the reality in the north very audible to the and visible to the bind ....


Wake up and face the reality...

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the president of Nigeria come May 29th 2023

Okoroawusa:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the president of Iragbiji come May 29th 2023

Properly fixed !

Nigerians will decide come 2023

There is no where in the news where those named above said that they would not support Asiwaju. The fake news won't stop Asiwaju, he's the next president of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

INEC is my main fear in this coming election

Prof Yemi Osibanjo is no longer a Ass licker...

I Salute his Courage for standing up against the Evil Muslim-Muslim Ticket.

Same Faith Ticket is dead on arrival in the present day Nigeria.

The Notorious Drug Baron will be taught a political lesson that he would never forget in the upcoming General Elections.

Are the mad?
After eating big from APC pot of soup.
What ll they say Tinubu did that made them not to support him?
In fact, I expect Buhari and Adamu to pick brooms and start sweeping in support of Tinubu from monday. Your party that failed with Buhari has fielded him already. What you all should do is to support him so that he won't fail like Buhari.
Tinubu didn't cause Buhari's failure s president. No be Tinubu dey help him make decision of sleep with his wife in the other room. All these back stabbing ll wound all of them.

This is audible to the deaf and clear to the blind before now. How will someone like Osibanjo and Amaechi tell people to vote a Muslim Muslim ticket? It's an impossible task. Again, they don't believe in Tinubu capacity to lead, they know him better than the urchins parroting his candidacy online. They just can't imagine themselves selling their conscience and political clout for such mediocre ambition. In the coming weeks, more people will distant themselves from the joke of a Tinubu candidacy.

Yen yen yen, same story everytime
BAT is unstoppable
BAT is the next president, anybody who no like am should go and die

I read about PDP and APC chieftains telling Nigerians that their candidate will work for the party....

This is always a turn off for any sane Nigerian to read....We are not here for elected officials to work only for their parties....We want them to work for Nigeria and for Nigerians..


When their party ensured their success at the polling stations,they also ensure that their party members enjoy the loot....

Imagine a druglord moving a bullion van on the eve of election to his house and nothing was done ....Also imagine a party sending 36million to their party members and they're returning the money.


We really have to get it right.....

Wake up man, this is Tinubu's time

Tinubu is now an IDP politician

Majesty2:
Wake up man, this is Tinubu's time

Tinubu time my foot. Only mentally deranged folks will vote Tinubu

There is now way osinbajo will join or participate in tinubu presidential campaign after tinubu opted for the Muslim Muslim ticket.
Osinbajo is a pastor at adeboye church , how will he campaign for a muslim/Muslim ticket.

Tinubu should better watch his back as from now on. We will just hear one day that he has gone into a coma, i don't trust apc politicians.
Because it is becoming increasingly clear as day ho by that apc will lose due to many factors. And most especially due to the I'll health of tinubu .

Tinubu tun ma lule piii Lekan siii.

Everyone is denying knowing the thief.

They better join the moving train. Timubu is finshed

Super story

Lol. It is obvious you no Nada about politics. Thank God for na!raland and AIT for people like you. Una or no even sabi anything.

Nobody is saying tinubu will win osun and oyo, it is not all about winning what are the margins.. APC lost with not less than a 100,000 votes in osun.... Even that was solely dependent on the fact that oyetola perform woefully as a governor... They still managed in savaging close to 300,000 votes. Now that is the structure.

The buhari structures are still in the north regardless of if he is not contesting. And tinubu is going after those structures with his campaign appointment, making them feel inclusive in his plans.

Can atiku win yobe of mai Buni, fmr chairman of apc?
Can atiku win shettima's bornu?
Can atiku win buhari kastina and kaduna(note buhari is more popular in kaduna than even kastina itself) buhari is the chairman of tinubu's campaign council. Lol
This three places alone can bag you over 7m+ votes irregardless of what the opponent managed to savage there.

Learn politics, learn! .. No be by colourfull 100 people rally with 2million pics
