May 31, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari and governors elected on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC), are currently meeting in the presidential villa in Abuja.
The meeting, which is being held at the Council Chambers may not be unconnected with the party convention slated for June 6 to 8 to produce its standard presidential flagbearer ahead of the 2023 general elections.
At the commencement of the meeting held at the villa, the screening committee of the party, headed by former National Chairman of the party, John Odigie Oyegun, is still busy conducting screening of aspirants for the primary election.
THEWILL earlier reported that President Buhari had directed the National Chairman of APC, Abdullahi Adamu, to work with the governors to prune the number of the party’s presidential aspirants to 10.
The meeting is expected to deliberate on that directive and possibly, Buhari’s chooses his choice aspirant ahead of the primary.
Recall that the ruling party which had earlier scheduled its primary election for Sunday last week, had to shift the date following a slight review of the timetable by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC.
