A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini
Nabena has said no aspirant will get the party’s 2023 presidential ticket on a
silver platter.
Nabena, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the
APC, made the remark while reacting to the declaration of Bola Tinubu, National
Leader of the party to run for the presidency.
Tinubu had disclosed that he had informed President
Muhammadu Buhari of his ambition to run for the presidency in 2023.
He disclosed this after a meeting with Buhari at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.
Reacting, Nabena said the party would follow the laid down
procedures in deciding its presidential candidate.
Nabena said Tinubu should consult widely because APC is not
a “come-and-take” party.
“The APC will not give any of its members’ 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,” Nabena told
journalists in Abuja.
