Ahmed Lawan
Members of the All Progressives Congress’ National Working Committee are divided over the nomination of a consensus presidential candidate for the party.
The PUNCH gathered that members of the NWC met on Tuesday in line with the directive of the president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), 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.
A member of the NWC told our correspondent that Ahmed Lawan was announced as the consensus candidate.
This, he said, other members kicked against, leading to a division among the NWC members.
