Investigations have revealed on why President Muhammadu Buhari chose the former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the National Chairmanship consensus candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) without considering the APC governors objections. A party source privy to decisions reached at the meeting of the governors with President Buhari said the President told them out rightly that it was his prerogative to choose the APC National Chairman and other National Working Committee (NWC) members if he chooses to.
The President, who was said to have chosen Adamu after his meeting with the APC governors on Wednesday ahead of the Saturday’s National Convention told the governors that they cannot choose their state chairmen still choose who becomes the National Chairman. According to the source, the President chose the National Chairman and asked the governors to go and work with him.
