Strong indication emerged yesterday that the presidential convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been shifted from Abuja to Benin. There are no reason given for this sudden change by our source but it may not be unconnected with the rising profile of one of its flag-bearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar.

It will be recall that Alhaji Atiku recently got endorsement from delegates from Borno and Yobe States. There are also indications that Bauchi, Taraba and Gombe States delegates will adopt Alhaji Atiku ahead of the Presidential Primary schedule for December 10.

Although the leadership of the party has earlier concluded plans to hold its presidential primaries/convention in Abuja but was later changed due to what our source called ‘non-availability of Eagle Square due to PDP primary and unfavourable disposition of security agents to APC.

All aspirants of the party, except General Muhammadu Buhari insisted on holding the party primary in Abuja. General Buhari who is an ally of Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomole was in Benin recently to commission some of the governor’s projects.

However, presidential aspirants on APC except Gen. Buhari also rejected the list of delegates from Lagos. The aspirants alleged that Lagos delegates list consist of LCDA which are not recognised under the Nigeria constitution.

What's wrong with all these media houses?! Can you briefly explain to us how they intend to favour Buhari with the change of the venue?! Do you expect APC to use the Eagle's Square when PDP Primaries is scheduled to hold that same day?! Besides, Buhari would emerge the Winner even if they hold it in the Jupiter. PDP, pls stop consoling yourselves.

For the fact that Buhari is not complaining doesn't mean it's going to favour him. Buhari doesn't complain over nothing!

Sentiments has made many people lost their brain on issues about APC.

The reason for changing venue is PDP is holding theirs a day before APC and moving it to lagos would be like hosting it in tinubu's backyard in other words giving him the knife and yam according to gbenga on AIT's Focus Nigeria programme. The best unbiased venue would be Ogbe Stadium in Benin City while the date remains the same.

I am not an APC party member but that doesn't stop me from saying the truth.

Make una dey read o, before finger go dey scratch una to type rubbish.

It should just be broadcast live on some select TV stations. That's my concern.
