However, Yerima said there were no records of such an agreement with the party.

“There is no consensus on who is the leader of the party. First we have Chief Bisi Akande, and later, we have John Oyegun, and today we have Senator Abdullahi Adamu, we had [Mai Mala] Buni in the running and so on.

“So, did Chief Bisi Akande meet with other people? Any decision taken outside the party system is not approved. The party has a National Working Committee, the party has what we call the NEC and there is a general decision-making body i.e. the National Caucus.

“Any decision that is not made in the party system is not a decision,” he said. You cannot understand the person and say ‘it will happen. If the party wants to make a decision, it is either the National Working Committee or the Convention.

“Once the agreement is in place, it cannot be changed. But decisions can be made on a case-by-case basis. Even with this understanding, the situation today may be different from what it was when that understanding was achieved. ”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has set June 6 as the date for its convention in Abuja to elect its presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.
