2023: APC Will Not Do What PDP Did – Gov Umahi

On Monday, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State declared that the All Progressives Congress will not hold its presidential primary in the same manner as the Peoples Democratic Party.

There were rumors that presidential candidates paid delegates around the country to get them to vote for them.

While commenting on the ruling party’s presidential primary, the presidential hopeful stated that he thinks consensus-building has always been a feature of the APC.

This was mentioned by Umahi on Channels TV on Monday morning.

He highlighted the consensus reached by the ruling party’s presidential candidates throughout the screening process.

Umahi said, “Consensus building has been part of the APC. I believe strongly that the APC is not going to do what the Peoples’ Democratic Party did.

“If the APC goes the way of the PDP in their last convention then I’ll say there’s a very serious problem for our country Nigeria.

“The way we came out from the convention for the National Chairman is the same way we’ll come out with the choice of our presidential candidate for 2023.

“I believe in that and we all pledged to that during the screening that whoever emerges through consensus building we’ll abide by that.

“No one is more important by the assessment of every one of us but when you set criteria from the beginning people to know [if they fit into those criterias].

“Like if you say one of the criteria is public appearance in a way of engagement. What have you been able to achieve in those engagements, then some people may not fit in.

“Then if you say you’re looking for a religious person to drive this ticket, some people may not also fit in. So, there should’ve been criteria set.”
