APC National Convention: See List Of Buhari’s Men ‘Kicked Out’ By Governors

The All Progressive Congress (APCongoing )’s National Convention is generating conflicting emotions as some of President Muhammadu Buhari’s purported “anointed candidates” are shown the door.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the ruling party’s convention, which had been repeatedly postponed, finally began on Saturday evening after President Buhari arrived at Eagle Square.

Despite apparently having the president’s full support ahead of the convention, four political bigwigs of the party did not make it to the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC soon after the event began ahead of the 2023 general elections.

APC Convention: ‘I’m Not A Supporter Of Buhari’s Candidate – Amaechi

Anaedoonline.ng understands that Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who is on top of the list of the candidates nominated by the president got the chairmanship post.

At least six aspirants had stepped down for him before the convention began, with Senator Sani Musa, one of them admitting that it was a very difficult decision to take.

In a 12-page document circulated at the beginning of the convention, the 22 governours of the party named 78 persons for national and zonal positions with some of them against the interest of President Buhari.

Those affected by the action of the governors are:

Former President of the Nigerian Senate, Ken Nnamani
A former member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Adamu Aliyu
Engineer Ife Oyedele
Architect Waziri Bulama.

The four politicians, Anaedoonline.ng understands were tipped for deputy national chairman (South), deputy national chairman (North), national secretary and organising secretary.

The APC governors, however, have them replaced with Chief Emma Enuekwu, Senator Abubakar Kyari, Senator Iyiola Omisore, and Suleiman M. Argungu.
