The battle for the presidential ticket of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has taken another
dimension as 12 APC governors reached a final
agreement to support Muhammadu Buhari, former
military head of state, while his counterpart, Atiku
Abubakar, former vice-president, is reaching out
directly to the delegates.
At the meeting, which took place at Adeola Odeku,
Victoria Island, Lagos, the governors who agreed to
support Buhari are: Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara),
Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe), Kashim Shettima (Borno),
Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa), Abdulfatah Ahmed
(Kwara), Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Abiola Ajimobi
(Oyo), Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Rauf Aregbesola
(Osun), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Aliyu Wamakko
(Sokoto) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers). The two other
governors, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano) and
Rochas Okorocha (Imo), are also gunning for the
presidential ticket. It was also disclosed that
Kwankwaso has been persuaded to step down for
Buhari, which he agreed, but will still put up an
appearance without putting up a fight at the
convention.
Atiku, on this part, is basing his calculations on the
fact that APC governors control only 14 states and
their influence in the remaining 22 states is not
strong.
It was understands that Atiku has zeroed in on
delegates from 16 states which they consider
winnable: Adamawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Benue,
Plateau, Bauchi, Jigawa, Taraba, Yobe, Delta, Abia,
Ebonyi, Enugu, Ekiti and Ondo ─ as well as the FCT.
In Atiku’s camp, the calculation is to deal directly with
the delegates, even from states controlled by pro-
Buhari governors.
With Atiku’s heavy war chest, the APC hierarchy had
become jittery about the high possibility of his
victory. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=673367439427440&id=285197771577744&refid=7&_ft_=qid.6091177557810569592%3Amf_story_key.-7799788729703567489&__tn__=%2As

In Atiku’s camp, the calculation is to deal directly with the delegates, even from states controlled by pro-Buhari governors.
With Atiku’s heavy war chest, the APC hierarchy had become jittery about the high possibility of his victory.
As a counterforce, Amaechi ─ who is the biggest financial backer of Buhari and is heavily favoured to pick the vice-presidential slot ─ flew in a heavy “war chest” to the pro-Buhari camp in Lagos on Wednesday morning, sources told TheCable.
The strategy in the pro-Buhari camp is to match Atiku naira-for-naira and dollar-for-dollar.
“Atiku cannot just come in and pick the ticket after all the hard work we did breaking up the PDP and setting up the APC,” a southern governor told TheCable on phone.
