Hope Uzodinma, governor of Imo State, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) will most likely produce a consensus presidential candidate at the end of proceedings at the Eagle Square, venue of the party’s primary election.
The Imo State governor who is the Chairman of the APC Special Convention, spoke to Channels Television at the Eagles Square.
He the said the party would conduct a free and fair election if consensus fails.
APC is used to consensus, and I’m almost certain that the party will produce a consensus candidate at the end of the day. And where it’s not possible, we will conduct an election that would be transparent, clear, and acceptable to all,” he said.
Uzodinma also stressed that President Muhammadu Buhari has no selfish interest in the election outcome.
“The president’s interest is to have a successful convention to the extent that he would be happy that whosoever emerges is in the position to win the main election.
“Of course, he is the leader of the party, but I’m not sure if there will be any selfish interest. Our president is somebody interested in the due process who wants things to be done properly,” he added.
