A group in support of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the South West Agenda for Asiwaju 2023, also known as SWAGA 2023, has said that there was no possibility of a consensus presidential candidate in the upcoming primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Chairman of SWAGA 2023, Senator Dayo Adeyeye, stated that all aspirants will await the results of the primaries.
He made this known in a phone chat with Punch on Sunday.
He said, “The candidates for the presidential election await the primaries and the people will have to earn it. Don’t forget that under the new electoral law, you can only have consensus when all the candidates or aspirants have agreed in writing and I don’t see that happening. Those who are looking for consensus are the lazy ones who have not done any work.
“We are working and hoping to have free and fair primaries which I know that by the grace of the almighty God, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will easily win. So, the issue of consensus candidacy should be forgotten completely. Nobody will impose the president on Nigeria, the party members will choose their candidates by themselves at the convention and the Nigerian people will be given the opportunity to elect the candidates of their choice in February next year.”
