Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Abdullahi Adamu, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that the party would take a decision on zoning after screening its 2023 presidential aspirants.<\/p>\n

Adamu said this in an interview with selected Hausa service media organisations late Wednesday night, adding that the presidential aspirants would be scrutinised in accordance with the party\u2019s guidelines for the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the party\u2019s electoral guidelines provide three methods of choosing its candidates for an election, which include: direct, indirect, and consensus.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the party\u2019s zoning arrangement, Adamu said that no decision would be taken until its aspirants were all screened.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not produced our candidate for the presidency yet, we have to screen the aspirants to know the way forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have aspirants from across the country in the presidential race. We will take the decision when we get there,\u201d the APC national chairman said.<\/p>\n

On the number of the presidential aspirants, Adamu said members of the party could not be denied the right to contest for president.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t stop our party stalwarts from contesting elections or aspiring for the presidency. It is their right, and we are happy for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nothing wrong for anybody aspiring for the exalted seat of the president, it is God that decides who gets what.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 28 aspirants for the presidential ticket, and everybody knows that all of them cannot get the ticket. If it\u2019s God\u2019s wish, they all can even be president of the country one after the other.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to ensure justice in the choice of who emerges as the candidate of the party, that does not mean we are perfect, but we pray we do the right thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the possibility of the party adopting the type of consensus arrangement that produced him as its chairman, Adamu said the chairmanship position was not the same as that of the president.<\/p>\n

He stressed that there was no comparison between the two positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the party has laid down its rules and regulations for the aspirants, we would scrutinise all of them based on our guidelines to be sure we pick the right candidate for the party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He debunked insinuations that a large number of the party\u2019s presidential aspirants was a subtle ploy to extend the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can only say that God will deal with those behind such insinuations. President Buhari had since 2019 declared that he would not seek a tenure extension.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told everybody and swore with the Qur\u2019an that he would not breach constitutional provision on his two terms tenure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue does not even arise, the president, while performing the Lesser Hajj reiterated this position.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is truth in such talks, none of the aspirants would have procured the party\u2019s Expression of Interest and Nomination forms,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
