2023: ‘APC will retain power if Tinubu gets presidential ticket’
A Northern group under the auspices of Aminu Kano Political Followers, has told the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and its supporters to endorse the National Leader of the party, Bola Tinubu as its consensus candidate to record easy victory in the 2023 presidential poll.
“Making Tinubu the presidential flagbearer will translate to victory for the party in the 2023 general election,” leader of the Aminu Kano Political Followers, Fashola Adeyemi, said, advising the APC to adopt the party’s leader through consensus.
Adeyemi addressed a press conference shortly after leading a peaceful march past that terminated at the APC Secretariat along Maiduguri Road, Kano.
“The match past is to drum support for Tinubu’s consensus candidature,” he told the press.

Adeyemi also said the consensus candidature of the former Lagos State Governor will not stop at victory for the party but also bring consolidation on the gains and achievements of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
“We have followed with keen interest the activities, achievements and commitment of Chief Bola Tinubu over the years up-to-date and we realise that, it will only be wise and in the best interest of our great party, the APC to endorse Bola Tinubu as the consensus candidate and flag bearer of the party in the forthcoming general election in 2023.”
“His relationship and association with the North has given him the privilege to enjoy mass support and followership.
“Equally, he is an experienced, eminently qualified, detribalised Nigerian, who is passionate about the welfare and well-being of the people.
“His antecedents are everywhere for anyone to see. Beyond reasonable doubt, he remains the best man to fly the party’s flag in the general election.”

Two Signs APC Still Not Ready to Govern After Buhari By Farooq Kperogi It’s OK to despise PDP and Atiku Abubakar. I do, too. But the truth is that, of Nigeria’s major political parties, only PDP has shown a readiness to govern at the national level from day one. We may not like how they’ll govern, but they’re at least coherent, earnest, transparent, and predictable. The party held its convention on schedule and submitted the name of its vice presidential candidate to INEC on deadline–with little or no internal rancor. APC, on the other hand, needed to extend the date of its convention by one week. Even so, it almost asked for another extension, and its poorly conducted convention spilled over to the following day. It also couldn’t turn in the name of its vice presidential candidate to INEC on deadline and instead submitted a “placeholder,” a vexing political anomaly Nigeria hadn’t witnessed before, which smaller parties have sadly quickly copied. That bespeaks a disorganized, ramshackle, “fire-brigade,” spur-of-the-moment, not-ready-for-prime-time political party. No party can effectively govern a sick, complex country like Nigeria with such indiscipline, insouciance, and planlessness. Should the party be voted into power in 2023, given its aggravating indiscipline and incompetence in organizing a mere convention and appointment a running mate to its presidential candidate, you can bet that it will repeat Buhari’s template of delaying the appointment of ministers and constituting boards of government agencies by several months. Or worse. We all know how that turned out for Buhari–and Nigeria. Governance never took off, directionlessness took over, a recession hit, and the economy tanked. The country hasn’t recovered up to now. It seems indecision, indiscipline, impunity, and ineptitude are inescapably inserted into APC’s DNA. For example, after its delegates convention, the party is now busy removing the names of people who won primary elections and replacing them with the names of party hon honchos who didn’t participate in the primaries. It is said that indecision is the graveyard of good intentions. APC doesn’t even have good intentions to start with. So, it’s burdened with a double whammy of indecision and no intentions.L
