Contenders for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) reportedly have intensified their bid to get the endorsement of Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The five contenders – former military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal; Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso; and publisher of Leadership Newspapers, Sam Nda-Isaiah – are said to be appealing to various sentiments with a view to getting the former Lagos State governor, who is the most prominent APC leader but who is yet to come out openly to any of them.
According to the Vanguard, all the contenders for APC’s ticket are now pulling all possible stops ranging from family linkages, to political alliances, business relationship as well as sentiments bordering on contemporary realities.
In fact, the pre-eminence of their relationship with Tinubu would play a major role in determining who gets the ticket. Most importantly, leaders of the APC are agreed on a common possibility: That managing a post-presidential convention rancor could cost the party more, than having a house where interests are subsumed for the larger good of the party.
