as a way of offsetting impending dominance of party’s NEC ‘Their decision to corner all posts has not given us any cause to believe them’ In their last minutes’ bid to douse tension within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) some foot soldiers of President Muhammadu Buhari who are mostly members of the CPC.
The move might not be unconnected with efforts being made by them (CPC caucus members) to dominate the forthcoming National Executive Committee of the party, which is causing ripples within the APC. Sources within APC who spoke with Saturday Telegraph on Friday, stated that Buhari is not taking any chances as he is being urged by his handlers to use his influence and power to take over the structure with a view to using such to ensure that the emergence of his successor will be smooth sail.
Members of the inner core of the kitchen cabinet of the president have impressed it on him to ensure that he has a firm grip on the party in post-convention era so that he won’t be in a disadvantaged position while trying to pick his successor next year,” the source pleaded not to be mentioned said. According to the source, the advice forms the basis for the initiative of drawing up a consensus list that would eventually be ratified by delegates at Saturday’s convention. That action has since become a source of discord within the ranks of the party with many stakeholders calling for open election by those who have signified interest to contest one office or the other.

To douse tension, Buhari had during a dinner to pacify aggrieved members at the Presidential Villa on Thursday told those present that the presidential ticket of the party will go to members of ACN faction in a move many view as efforts to placate Bola Tinubu.
Two sources within the APC told our correspondent that indeed, the President at the meeting stated that the ACN would be left alone to produce the candidate of the APC next year. “President Buhari told those present at the meeting that the presidential ticket of the party will go the ACN caucus. I think he did this to pacify members of that caucus which is seen as the second biggest after that of the CPC whose turn he used to get to office in the last eight years,” one of the sources said.
Rather than douse tension, it further aggravated it with other caucuses feeling cheated. The party source said: “Most members present who are not from ACN left the hall quietly dejected, leaving those from ACN to take pictures with President Buhari at the end of the event.” The assurance notwithstanding, members of the ACN are not losing guard with many of them weighing their options in case the situation does not favour their caucus as promised by President Buhari. An aide to a South West governor in a telephone chat told our correspondent that: “We are skeptical of the intentions of the president and his handlers.
Their decision to corner all the available posts within the party has not even given us any cause to believe them. Those who have the nerve to do what they have done will always renege on whatever agreement they reach at the point of duress.” Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum and Ekiti State chief executive, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, expressed his reservations as well as those of his colleagues when he told a gathering on Thursday that he wasn’t aware of a consensus list being drawn up and that whosoever is interested in party office should slug it out with those being put forward by the president. “As for your question madam as to whether the president has anointed anyone to be the chairman of the party, I have no knowledge of that,” Fayemi said while fielding question from reporters at an event organised by an Abuja based non-governmental organization.

Any arrangements is ok for Tinibu even if all ACN members are sacrificed provided he's given the presidential ticket, the same reason he never condemned herdsmen killing in the West.

Now,the masquerade himself wants to take his turn to scam Tinubu himself just to arrange CPC caucus as executive and then it's all over for our darling Tinubu

Mr man understand simple politics and what they call partnership . once ACN is producing president CPC must produce chairman and giving PDP also to produce key position too. Remember when BUari was given presidential ticket APc is the one producing chairman . BISI akande as interim, oyegun as chairman and oshiomole before giving to buni as interim when problem broke out . Buari is just trying to keep their cpc relevant .

which game is over? Many of you don't understand politics you are only good at coming to nairaland and make hate comment . if the presidential ticket is zone to south west APC and the people should nominate a consensus candidate , pls tell me who can defeat Tinubu in the south west politics. Osinbajo won't even come out to contest not to talk of Fayemi. May is their primary election ,have seen any action from them to be president ?

You guys are so hatefuly immature. If Buhari has conceded the Presidential ticket to ACN caucus of APC then the players are Tinubu, Osinbajo and Fayemi.

Tinubu is the strongest candidate most APC members, from every region of Nigeria, support because they know he will win to make APC Party and her members stronger as a unit and as individuals respectively.

In every workplace, all workers have have bosses they love, have confidence in and are loyal to because of the feeling that their interests are best served under that boss.

That is the case with Tinubu and the difficulty the outgoing Buhari is experiencing in the attempt to get his way.

Osinbajo needs Tinubu to win while Fayemi, the real weaking with no goodwill from his peers, will blatantly be seen as an attempt by Buhari to keep power in the North via fielding a weak APC candidate PDP Atiku can defeat by 9am on election day.

Let us see how Buhari perform his miracle. This is a battle for the political soul and direction of Nigeria you people cannot understand because everything , for you immature folks, is about hate of others and the need to see them frustrated .

You are like kids in their own world who don't know how adults pay bills, feed them, clothe them and pay their school fees.

Yes you are right, if it zoned to acn caucus, maybe tinubu has a chance but I will not lie to you the chance is so slim, considering the fact buhari rejected Muslim Muslim ticket in 2015 and also, buhari body language does not support asiwaju aspiration unless you just want to sentimental, can't you see the way buhari has been exposing osinbajo internationally, that should tell you something,the odds favour osinbajo more than anyone else in sw, and from today at the convention, it will start manifesting, just watch out!

This is a battle for the political soul and direction of Nigeria

May the supposed battle for political soul of Nigeria cause you more sniffing of of Tinubu's shiit from his leaking ass and daily changing of pampers
So criminal Tinubu of all Nigerians is the rescuer of the soul of Nigeria? Em wan thief em own,maybe you benefit from the planned thievery on his behalf. That's why you kill yourself morning afternoon night here. Corrupt souls.

Atiku will be Nigeria's president. Tinubu can't even win his own Southern zone. His only hope is 5 Yoruba states from the entire South of 17states. As for North, Atiku will deal with him all-round.

He won't still get APC presidential to ticket worst of all

Osinbajo will contest, know this and know peace, the APC structure is no more with tinubu from today. The best thing for asiwaju is to support osinbajo be fire it becomes too late, for your own information I have no problem with asiwaju, but the odds are against him, I expected him to be smarter, even if eventually the ticket does not go to osinbajo which I doubt, it will be given to another South westerner but not tinubu.

Trust Buhari at your own risk

That was how he denied stepping down on adamu , only to turn around and impose him on the party later

How can a normal human being make such a statement with a straight face? The ACN structure is not with Tinubu? Looooolz. No, it is with your family head in the village. Bunch of Ignoramuses everywhere! So Ludicrous!

Stop your insult, try to behave civil when you in public space, I said after the convention today, the APC structure in sw will no longer be with tinubu.

That's because the presidency is the altimate, once he gets the presidency, he can easily take back the party.

Osinbajo himself will never betray Tinubu. Proper Yoruba omoluabi, and I know Osinbjao is that, will never do that.

Tinubu gave Osinbajo everything. I mean every damn thing. Unless you are not proper Yoruba, tokan tokan, then I don't see the point in what you are asking Osinbajo to do.


Please, who was Osinbajo when Tinubu, almost singlehandedly, devised the merger of smaller Parties to form APC and create a force that deposed APC?

I follow progressive politics keenly, as a matter of personal interest, to know Tinubu warned many times, because of his struggle with the undemocratic Obasanjo and PDP, that Nigeria will never get rid of the worthless PDP unless smaller Parties joined forces to become a major political force.

Forget what Buhari is doing. He will not get away with it. He can win the battle but never the war because Nigeria faces serious existential challenges that will reset thinking of everyone very soon.

Osinbajo knows all this and, deep down, knows Tinubu is a great leader who is better placed to get the best out of everything and everyone needed to move all people of all regions of Nigeria forward.

Osinbajo is not one who will reject makinf personal sacrifices for the greater good of Nigeria and Nigerians.

He won't going the ticket,cessation the substitute

Stop disturbing itself. APC is a national party, and it cannot micro-zone it's Presidential ticket to SW or SE. It can only zone it to the south and Buhari alone will pick the consensus candidate.

To start with, I'm a yoruba man tonkan tonkan, but the way I think might be different, a little background of myself, I'm from ondo state, dual citizen, Franco nigerian. For the question about osinbajo betraying tinubu or that tinubu gave osinbajo, I think to me that is wrong assumption, he only gave him political platform, but don't forget some people gave tinubu the platform as well, what happened after is another story, I believe in what is right, osinbajo has the right of first refusal, moreover that you found me a job in a company doesn't me I should not aspire to be the director of the company as long as I have the support of board of trustees.
