The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly adopted Senate President Ahmed Lawan as consensus presidential aspirant, TheNation has reported.

The decision it was gathered was made public by the national chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.

TheNation reported that Adamu made the announcement at the meeting of National Working Committee (NWC) on Monday in Abuja.

Other aspirants including Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Dr. Kayode Fayemi and David Umahi, among others will however be allowed to contest the primary at the convention holding tomorrow at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

The NWC members insisted other aspirants must be given a level playing ground to compete.

Adamu’s adoption of Lawan as consensus candidate is against the position of 11 APC northern Governors, who endorsed that power must shift to the South after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
