P.M.NEWS gathered that earlier deliberations by the parties at the meeting had concluded that the party which performed best during the National Assembly elections will produce the presidential candidate while the other will then tell its supporters to vote for the consensus candidate.
In this case, ACN which had more National Assembly members than Buhari’s CPC was expected to produce the consensus candidate but representatives of Buhari reportedly backpedaled, insisting that the retired general should be the consensus candidate because he still has broad support in the North despite his party’s dismal performance during the National Assembly elections last Saturday.
The ACN representatives, it was learnt, were unhappy with the turn of events and decided that the parties should test their strength on the political turf.
