PHOTOS: Buhari meets APC stakeholders, governors ahead of presidential primary

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with the national caucus members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state house, Abuja.

Segun Osoba, Bisi Akande, John Oyegun, Adams Oshiomhole, Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the party, and Iyiola Omisore, the national secretary, are present at the meeting.

Some of the governors of the ruling party are also in attendance.

The meeting is coming 24 hours after the president hosted the presidential hopefuls of the APC in the state house.

Buhari had asked the contenders to discuss among themselves and “come up with a formidable” consensus candidate before the party’s primary election.

“Ahead of the Convention, the party machinery has screened and found all aspirants eminently qualified. Recognizing this fact, the Screening Committee has, amongst others, recommended that consensus building through consultation, be intensified,” Buhari told the presidential hopefuls.

“Without prejudice to your qualifications, I urge all of you to hold consultations amongst yourselves and with the party, with a view to building a consensus in a manner that would help the party reduce the number of aspirants, bring up a formidable candidate and scale down the anxiety of party members.”

The ruling party has fixed June 6-8 for its special convention to elect its presidential flagbearer.
