BREAKING: #APC South West Leaders Set To Produce Consensus Between #Tinubu And #Osinbajo – #BAT2023 [PHOTO]—-As directed by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo and other South-West Governors, including the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, entered a closed door meeting, possibly to choose who becomes the presidential candidate of their party, the APC.
The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his Ekiti state counterpart, Kayode Fayemi, former Governor, Segun Osoba, former National Chairman of the APC, and others are present in the meeting.
This is hoping that by morning, all dusts would have cleared and the sky would be clear enough for everyone to see.
The aspirants who agreed to step down have yet to issue an official statement, and their respective spokespersons could not be reached for comments Sunday morning.
The outcome of the first round of talks has left Governor Kayode Fayemi, Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as the three standing aspirants from the South-West.
The meeting will continue at forenoon on Sunday, or much later, depending on how events unfold, our sources said. Our sources spoke under anonymity because they were not asked to go on the record over the meeting’s outcome.
It came as President Muhammadu Buhari met with all aspirants and emphasised consensus as the best option for the party’s convention scheduled to begin on June 6 and terminate on June 9.
Besides the aspirants, the meeting also had in attendance Bisi Akande, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, Gbenga Daniel, Governor Jide Sanwo-Olu, Mr Osoba himself, amongst others.
