President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he does not have a
preferred candidate ahead of the party’s presidential primaries.
Buhari also told Northern Governors, who were in Aso Rock to
meet with him concerning where the next President should come from to “allow
the delegates to decide. The Party must participate, nobody will appoint
anybody.”
The President on Monday afternoon said it was important to
clear all doubts about where he stands on the choice of a presidential
candidate.
Buhari, according to Garba Shehu, made the declaration
before the party’s 14 governors of northern states.
According to the President, “no preferred candidate,” and
has “anointed no one,” and is determined to ensure that “there shall be no
imposition of any candidate on the party.”
Buhari said the party is important and its members must be
respected, and made to feel they are important.
The President said he had a clear mind about what he was
doing and asked the APC governors to feel the same way.
Meanwhile, reports emerged on Monday that the National
Chairman of the ruling party, Abdullahi Adamu has picked Senate President Ahmad
Lawan as the presidential candidate of the party.
However, members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of
the APC have denied endorsing Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, as the consensus
presidential candidate of the party.
