Crisis is brewing within the ranks of the All Progressives Congress’ National Working Committee, as members pitch tents over the nomination of Lawan as consensus presidential candidate for the party.
Members of the NWC met on Tuesday in line with the directive of President Major Muhammadu Buhari that a consensus candidate should be picked after consultation.
It was learnt that during the meeting, a candidate was announced to be Buhari’s candidate but members of the NWC kicked.
Reports say that the announcement of Ahmed Lawan as the consensus candidate had members kicking against it, leading to a division among the NWC members.
Moreso, this is against earlier decision by governors of the party from northern Nigeria who moved for zoning the presidency to the south.
