National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in support of the emergence of a southerner as the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections.
The party’s National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, disclosed this on Monday while addressing reporters at the APC national secretariat in Abuja.
Briefing reporters in the company of some members of the NWC, Argungu explained that the committee took the decision following a meeting of its members.
According to him, the NWC stands with the position of the northern governors elected on the APC platform for power to shift to the southern part of the country when President Muhammadu Buhari completes his eight-year two terms billed to lapse in May 2023.
He made the remarks amid reports by several media outfits that a presidential hopeful and Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, had emerged as the party’s consensus candidate for the forthcoming poll yet to be conducted.
