With evidence that the 2023 presidential election is fast approaching, The ruling All progressive Congress is working behind the scene to ensure that it’s present their best presidential candidate for the next presidential election....CONTINUE READING
In regards to this, The Current governor of Ebonyi state, and national Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, have been tipped to emerge as the concensus presidential candidate of the All progressive Congress in 2023.
With this, Available report shows that the APC may adopt a concensus method of picking their Presidential candidate in 2023.
Recall that in a report from vanguard newspaper, It reveals that the National Secretary, Of The APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Sen. John James Akpanudoehede, had earlier Stated that the APC its resolve to produce a consensus presidential candidate in the lead up to the 2023 general elections.
However, If the APC finally decide to adopt the concensus method as earlier Stated, Available indication has shown that Dave Umahi may beat Tinubu to become APC Concensus Candidate in 2023, because of two reason.
1. The Support from Some APC Leaders
Remember that the report from the Tribune Newspaper has revealed that the APC is currently considering Dave Umahi as the flagbearer of the party in 2023.
The report has also Stated that Dave Umahi has become a regular mention name in the projection for the APC presidential ticket by the APC Leaders.
With this, It’s shows the governor Dave Umahi is already gaining the support of some APC Leaders even when he is yet to declare his presidency Ambition.
2. The agitation for Igbo presidency might favour Dave Umahi to pick the APC presidential ticket ahead of Tinubu.
Since the Southeast region where Dave hails are Agitating that the 2023 presidency should be rotate to the South East zone, based on the fact that the zone have not produced an elected president of Nigeria since the return of democracy in 1999. With this, I believe that this agitation might make the stakeholders of the party to support Dave Umahi to fly the flag of PDP, especially now that the report from Daily Trust newspaper, had revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari is silently pushing for Igbo Presidency ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
