It is a common knowledge that the only stumbling block for APC's primary election in which the party members will elect their next presidential candidate for the 2023 election is the convention which was held yesterday, 26th March 2022. Going forward, since the convention is now over, the likes of Asiwaju Tinubu and other presidential aspirant of the ruling party will start positioning and selling themselves to the newly elected excos of the party ahead of the primary election. Therefore, in the coming days, we hope to see more aggressive campaign for Asiwaju Tinubu, Orji Uzor Kalu, Dave Umahi and others who want to contest for the party's presidential ticket. Now that the coast is clear for the party's primary election, who do you think will clinch the ticket among those who have declared their intention to contest?

To this effect, Reno advised that Nigerians should only say positive teams about their team and the coach, Eguavoen. An

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan may most likely shock Nigerians any time soon by defecting from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and subsequently picking the sole ticket of the party as a consensus candidate for the 2023 presidential election. For this reason, the former President has started to rally around his kinsmen in the Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State to make this dream a reality. Part of this strategy was to get some of his kinsmen and political associates in support of his ambition in the PDP into electoral offices in the forthcoming general election. Jonathan was said to have carried out an audit of all aspirants in his council and decided to support persons he believed would easily defect with him to the APC at the appropriate time. Sources close to the former President said he was preparing his kinsmen for his new ambition having been promised a return to Aso Rock by a cabal at the Pres

1. National Convention: Whither Democracy As APC Goes Consensus Coming on the heels of political theatrics, mutual suspicions and cold calculations in its top echelon, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will, barring any last-minute hitch, hold its much postponed national convention. The epic event has been at the planning stage since the Adams Oshiomhole-led national working committee (NWC) was unceremoniously dissolved in 2020. While the ruling party is on the verge of disappointing naysayers who anticipated another shift in date, it did not disappoint pessimists who hold the view that there is no democratic fiber in the party’s being. This is on account of APC apparatchik’s preference of consensus as to the mode for constituting members of its NWC. The euphemistic “constituting” was advisedly used as against “electing”. What they have ingeniously resolved to do at Eagle Square, Abuja on Saturday is a flat-out imposition. It is what it is. 2. United States Take Action Ag
