2027: Tinubu must face primary, APC chieftain kicks against sole candidacy

Charles Udeogaranya, 2019 All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, has insisted that there is no room for an automatic ticket for 2027 presidential candidate in the party.

 

This is coming at the recent All Progressive Congress, APC national summit in Abuja, where the party leadership and the APC governors including the National Assembly lawmakers elected under the APC platform endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for second term.

 

In a statement personally signed by him, Udeogaranya stated that consensus is far from it, saying he would contest for Nigerian presidency on the platform of APC in 2027.

 

According to him, “while I deeply and respectfully appreciate my fellow All Progressive Congress, APC members on their Abuja summit, may I also respectfully inform that this democracy birthed by Thomas Jefferson in his declaration of the United States independence in 1776, entrenched by Abraham Lincoln at his speech in Gettysburg 1863 and globally expressed by Martin Luther King jnr in his Washington 1963 speech; will not fail in Nigeria, come 2027.

 

Udeogaranya maintained that there would be room for consensus in continuous hunger and chronic poverty in Nigeria, declaring that he will contest Nigeria presidency on the APC platform to bring about a better Nigeria anchored on creativity, nationalism and prosperity for all Nigerians.

 

“No room for consensus in economic quagmire, no room for consensus on insecurity in Nigeria, no room for consensus on nepotism in Nigeria, no room for consensus on cluelessness in Nigeria and no room on me, I and myself in the leadership of Nigeria”, he added.
