Senior officials of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, known as the Cabal, are said to have sold Senate President Ahmad Lawan’s candidacy to the president.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress would be held in a few days (APC).

President Buhari is set to offer Lawan as his preferred candidate for the party’s ticket to the party’s key stakeholders, according to reports.

The Aso Villa Cabal, according to several sources, has obtained the president’s buy-in for Lawan.

One of the sources, a former governor, told Daily Trust that: “Buhari’s nephew, Malam Mamman Daura, a former director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura, and the national chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, have succeeded in ramming Lawan down the throat of the president.”

However, the former governor warned that forcing Ahmad Lawan on the party would lead to disaster and implosion.

“Atiku Abubakar will be declared the president-elect by noon on the election day,” he said.

Another ally of President Buhari expressed shock over moves to draft Lawan as the ruling party’s presidential candidate.

“I just discussed the issue with one of the president’s aides. We should not allow this to happen. It is not good that after eight years, the president will be bringing another northerner as his successor. This is not good for us and the country.

“In 2007, Obasanjo brought a northerner when he was leaving because of the power-sharing formula between North and South. Anyone that is supporting the North to retain power beyond 2023 is an enemy of the country,” he said.

Reports had emerged that promoters of Lawan’s candidature had reached out to Buhari’s nephew, Malam Mamman Daura and the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babagana Kingibe.

According to report, Tinubu’s recent outburst in Ogun State was as a result of getting information that Buhari may back a northerner for the ticket.

But an ally of Tinubu insisted that the former Lagos State governor would remain in the APC even if he does not get the ticket.

“Asiwaju is going to emerge as the APC flag-bearer. He was a fulcrum for the formation of the APC and has no intention to abandon the party to political contractors. He has a tremendous goodwill and empathy across the length and breadth of the country,” he said.
