APC Convention: Govs Back Buhari’s Chairmanship

President Muhammadu Buhari has held a meeting with governors of All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the party’s National Convention.
The governors pledged to align with any candidate of Buhari’s choice, especially for the chairmanship position which will be keenly contested this weekend.
Despite initial scepticism that greeted plans for the convention, the party stakeholders said they were finalising logistic arrangements for the convention which holds on March 26.
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 on Wednesday.
The chairman of Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, said they would 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.
