2023: APC won’t give its presidential ticket to anyone on silver platter

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said its 2023 presidential ticket would not be given to any aspirant on a silver platter.

The position of the party was made known by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yekini Nabena.

Nabena said this while reacting to the public declaration of the National leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s open declaration to contest the 2023 presidential race.

With his disclosure to contest the presidency, Tinubu is likely to clash with his political ‘godson’, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who is also believed to be interested in the presidential race.

Reacting to the declaration of Tinubu, Nabena said, “The APC will not give any of its members a presidential ticket on a platter of gold; there are procedures so he (Tinubu) should continue consulting. The APC is not a come-and-take party. He should consult even those contesting with him.

“So, consultations should continue and whoever emerges at the primaries will be the party’s presidential candidate for 2023,” the party said.
