Last-minute scheming for the All Progressive Congress
national convention saw a good number of governors from the party meeting with
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday.
They have, however, pledged to align with any candidate of
Buhari’s choice, especially for the chairmanship position which will be keenly
contested this weekend.
Recall that despite initial scepticism that greeted plans
for the convention, the party stakeholders are finalising logistic arrangements
for the convention which holds this March 26th.
The governors were led to the meeting by the Chairman of the
Interim Committee of the party and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Bala Buni.
The chairman of Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) and
Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, said they will support any process that
would lead to a consensus.
Recall Buhari had last month said he was in favour of the
consensus model for selecting candidates for the party’s national positions.
He had urged the governors to explore the option of
consensus.
