Oshiomhole to emerge APC national chair by consensus

There are strong indications that the next National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress will emerge by consensus.

Highly-placed party sources, who confided in SUNDAY PUNCH in Abuja on Saturday, revealed that the ongoing ward, local government and state congresses were “dress rehearsals” for what would happen in June during the national convention.

A member of the outgoing National Working Committee of the party, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said the party had considered the consensus option to produce party executives at all levels.

He said, “We have had a precedence; even our outgoing National Chairman and most of us emerged by consensus. According to our party constitution, it is when the consensus option fails that you go into elections.
