The APC Presidential candidate poster for former President Jonathan-Malami has surfaced
According to the Arewa 2023 Agenda for Peaceful Transition, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is planning to nominate former President Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s presidential candidate in 2023, with Malami Abubakar as his running partner.
Usaini Ibrahim Kano, the group’s national chairman, said in a statement on Sunday that the Jonathan-Malami posters have already saturated several important sites around the country, indicating that the agenda is well advanced.
“This development comes on the heels of the National Convention and Congresses at the State level, which were originally postponed twice,” the group said. As preparations for the 2023 general election began in Ernest, there was concern about the cost of nomination forms for the various political offices of the party.
“Observers argue that the internal wrangling over INEC’s decision to expand the number of polling units across Nigeria is child’s play in comparison to the party’s unresolved legal matters, numerous reconciliation committees whose findings are still pending, and the party’s new financial challenges.” According to them, there has been a long-running internal war between all factions, including important players in the merger that gave rise to the APC in 2015
