Tinubu's government governed by APC
<p><strong><a href="http://Openlife.ng">Abuja</a> is agog as no fewer than 2,322 delegates from 36 states and the FCT have converged at the city to elect a flagbearer for the <a href="http://Openlife.ng">All Progressives Congress (APC)</a>, for the <a href="http://Openlife.ng">2023 general elections</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The party’s special national convention has been scheduled for June 6 to 8 at the Eagles Square, Abuja.</p>
<p>Twenty-three aspirants are jostling to clinch the coveted position, although efforts are on by the party, led by President Muhammadu Buhari, to come up with a likely consensus candidate.</p>
<p><strong>In North West, a state-by-state analysis of the delegates shows that Kano has 132; Kaduna, 69; Katsina, 102; Kebbi, 63; Jigawa, 81; Sokoto, 69, while Zamfara has 42.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In North East, Taraba has 48; Bauchi, 60; Adamawa, 63; Gombe, 33; Borno, 81, while Yobe has 51 delegates.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Similarly, in South East, Abia has 51 delegates, Anambra, 63; Ebonyi, 39; Enugu, 51 and Imo, 81.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In South West, Lagos has 60; Ogun, 60; Ondo, 54; Ekiti, 48; Oyo, 99 and Osun, 90.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In South-South, Akwa Ibom has 93; Cross River, 54; Bayelsa, 24; Delta, 75; Rivers, 69 and Edo 57.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In North Central, Kwara has 48; Kogi, 63; Niger, 75; Nasarawa, 39; Plateau, 51; Benue, 66, while FCT has 18.</strong></p>
<p>The Chairman of the Convention Planning Committee, Gov. Abubakar Atiku of Kebbi State, who is also the Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, has promised a hitch-free exercise.</p>
<p>While all major hotels in the city and its environs had been fully booked, there had been a spike in vehicular traffic.</p>
<p>The FCT Police command had also announced traffic diversions, affecting many routes leading to Eagle Square, the venue of the epoch event.</p>
<p>The spokesperson for the command, DSP Josephine Adeh, said in a statement that it had also mapped out an operational order.</p>
<p>This, she said, was to allow maximum deployment of human and material resources for the success of the convention.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly received the names of five aspirants for his consideration as the consensus presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of today’s national convention.</p>
<p>The names were said to have been submitted to him by governors elected under the party from the North.</p>
<p>Those that made the shortlist are said to be Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, president of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan; former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi and Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State.</p>

<p>The governors had approached the president on Monday to canvass for his support for a southern candidate.</p>
<p>Their meeting with the president came against the background of the announcement by the <a href="https://openlife.ng/apc-picks-northerner-as-consensus-presidential-candidate/">National Chairman of the APC, Senator Adamu Abdulahi, that he (President Buhari) had endorsed Lawan as the consensus candidate.</a></p>
<p>The Presidency denied it, saying that Buhari wanted the delegates to decide.</p>
