The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has warned the All Progressives Congress, APC, against choosing Senate President Ahmad Lawan as their presidential consensus candidate.
Lawan’s selection, according to the organization, is a political blunder that will backfire.
Lawan, according to Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, lacks national recognition and electoral integrity to beat PDP Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party Presidential candidate Peter Obi.
According to reports, Abdullahi Adamu, the APC’s national chairman, has nominated Lawan as the party’s consensus presidential candidate.

However, Adamu’s nomination of Paean was rejected by APC governors, who insisted that power must pass to the South in 2023.
Reacting, Isiguzoro, in a statement, said: “The announcement of the APC National Chairman Senator Adamu that Senator Ahmad Lawan is the APC consensus candidate for 2023 depicts immaturity and is a game over for the ruling party to retain power at the centre, as this miscalculation will backfire on the ruling party’s chances to win 2023 election and we call on President Buhari to caution the party National Chairman Sen. Adamu, who appears to be biased and compromised by hawks in the party.”
Isiguzoro also commended APC governors for rejecting Adamu’s choice of Lawan.
“We salute the courageous stance of APC Northern Governors to reject the APC National Chairman’s choice for consensus those pushing for the choice Ahmad Lawan are oblivion to the fact that a political tsunami is sweeping across the country with the resurrection of the third force in Labour Party, Atiku and Lawan will lose the Presidential election against a united front of Nigerians and Southerners behind the third force.

“Senator Ahmad Lawan lacks the personality, and character, and appears clueless to fit into the legacies of President Buhari which only an Igbo can do, as a rubber stamp Senate President, his candidacy will crash out the ruling party from Aso Rock.
“Ndigbo rejects the candidature of Ahmad Lawan, a man who couldn’t find solutions through the legislative process to the insecurity challenges of the Northeast, this man will lead Nigeria into disintegration and collapse of Nigeria’s sovereignty and unity”, to be forewarned is be forearmed,” he added.
