Intrigues and power play in All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could have both present presidential
North eyes consensus for parties, APC considers open ticketUnlike in 1999, when the military ensured the two major parties fielded candidates from the southwest to pacify the region, following the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election, the current arrangement is seen as a winning streak. It also aims to avoid polarisation of the electorate between the north and south.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has fixed August 18 as the final date for submission of names of presidential candidates and June 3 as the deadline to complete party primaries. It was also gathered that the cabal has a plan to present consensus presidential candidates for both APC and PDP before the end of April “because politicians from the zone do not believe in the rotational presidency at this moment.”
Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State said he would make his intention known after Ramadan, while Central Bank Governor , Godwin Emefiele, could also join the race. This is hinged on the argument that the south has spent more years in the presidency than the north, since the return to democracy in 1999.
