The presentation of Ahmed Lawal as the APC’s consensus candidate for the 2023 Presidential election by the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu has confirmed the earlier prediction by Senator Shehu Sani
Sen. Sani had early hours of this Monday, posted a comment on his verified Twitter handle ,” Don’t believe anything until you see Lawan withdrawn”.
When called via telephone to verify the post and reasons behind such conclusion, Sani said, “I knew the plan was to have someone from the North to battle the People’s Democratic Party’s candidate, former Vice President, Atiku.
According to him, it is obvious that there is no APC candidate from the South that can contest and defeat Atiku in the forthcoming general election.
“This was the same manner, I predicted how Atiku would emerge victorious and it came to pass.He added .
“I can authoritatively tell you again that the main opposition party , People’s Democratic Party (PDP) will win the 2023 general elections and return to power.
” I posted the comment because I have studied the political atmosphere and discovered APC is confused and wouldn’t want to lose power now ,hence decision by the party Chairman to announce Lawan as his consensus candidate for president.
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullah Adamu had announced Senate President Ahmad Lawan as APC consensus presidential candidate.
The announcement by Adamu at the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) Monday in Abuja was contrary to the position of most Northern Governors on power shift to the South.
This comes amid preparations for the party’s convention to elect its presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.
Though information gathered revealed that such position was not adopted by the NWC.
According to a member of NWC who pleaded anonymity, it’s true chairman announced it ,but it was not discussed or adopted by the NWC. He just announced it as his personal opinion. Such can not stand.
