I can tell you that his comment means that Lawan is the President\u2019s choice. It\u2019s as simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to DAILY POST, Lawan\u2019s entry into the presidential race was to have a strong contender from the same zone as ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n<p>The APC then tactically postponed its primary to wait for the outcome of that of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n<p>After Atiku\u2019s victory the night of May 28, the President\u2019s men were said to have met and agreed to support Lawan.<\/p>\n<p>The calculation is that with Abubakar (Adamawa) and Lawan (Yobe) both from the North-East, the APC will have a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Also, behind the scenes, many APC stalwarts and influential citizens, who are friends with the party, are working for victory of a Northerner at the primary.<\/p>\n<p>They include former and serving public officials, business moguls, traditional rulers, clerics, mostly of Northern extraction.<\/p>\n<p>They believe that due to the voting strength of the region, it would be difficult for a Southern APC flagbearer to defeat the PDP next February.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Atiku as PDP candidate, APC may not win in 2023 with a Southern candidate, it\u2019s a game of numbers\u201d, our source added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The special convention and presidential primaries of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have been characterised by intrigues, shenanigans and twist and turns as major players seek to outwit and outplay one and other.
