Adedayo Akinwale writes on the ignoble roles played by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, which were aimed at truncating Senator Bola Tinubu’s emergence as the presidential candidate of the party in the 2023 national elections
The Special National Convention of the party had suffered many shifts and postponements due to power play and politicking amongst various interests in the party. Many had thought the convention would lead to fragmentation of the party and brutally bruised ego of its leading members. Though quickly apologized and maintained that he has utmost respect for President Buhari, Adamu did not show similar remorse. The odium created by his utterance had become firmly established at a deep level that attracted bad blood to Tinubu in some quarters.
At this point, the plan by Adamu to seal the fate of Tinubu and other presidential aspirants hit the brick wall when other members of the NWC refused to ratify Lawan as the consensus candidate of the party, just a few hours to the party’s convention. However, the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu said Adamu was on a frolic of his own by taking a flight of fancy and decided to make a pronouncement beyond his competence.
The meeting made a major breakthrough when news filtered into the air on Tuesday evening that the Governor of Ekiti state and a presidential aspirant of the party, Dr. Kayode Fayemi had stepped down. The official announcement was delayed till the night of the convention when the aspirants were asked to woo the delegates with a-five minute presentation.
