John Oyegun, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential screening committee, claims that 99 percent of the party’s presidential candidates have agreed to back a consensus candidate.
He said that there was “just one exception,” yet he did not name anyone.
On Friday, Oyegun revealed this when submitting the committee’s findings to the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu.

“We engaged every aspirant on the issue of consensus. It is a pleasant surprise that 99 percent agreed that the party is supreme. And that whatever the party decides – with proper consultation – they will likely accept.
“Only one exception, who said I will accept consensus only if it is for me. I think it is a point that needs to be made and emphasised.
“So that gives you a lot of leeway in the hours ahead to trim down even more drastically.
“But finally we think we should not be afraid of a contested primary if anybody insists on a contest,” Oyegun said.
