APC convention: Presidency, govs in trade-off

The quest for supremacy in All Progressives Congress, APC, was last night turning into a mutual collaboration between the Presidency and the governors to express their character in the next leadership of the ruling party.

Majority of the governors were also rallying round their leader, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, with a fury against what they alleged as the plot to humiliate him.

The governors, who were as at last night meeting in the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro area of Abuja, it was gathered, would fine tune their list before moving to present it to President Muhammadu Buhari.

With the top three positions of national chairman, national secretary and national organising secretary being conceded to the President, there was speculation that the Presidency had also fixed its sights on the position of deputy national chairman, North, with one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s long known political fixers, Farouk Adamu, now in serious contention.
