“Honestly speaking, I am disappointed with the situation. These things could have been handled differently. Everyone knows that we have just six days left so it is nearly impossible, definitely, this convention will not hold on February 26 and this could have been avoided.
“There is nothing wrong in telling us early enough that the convention would not hold. Personally, I have been waiting for this convention for the last 20 months. I started (campaigning) in June 2020. I was thinking they would do it in December 2020 but they moved it and I continued. In June 2021, they shifted it again but I continued. It has been traumatic for me and Nigerians. This is unfair.
“They should let us know on time whether they will be holding the convention on the 26th or not because people are coming from all over. Tickets have been bought. Let them tell us on time so we can reschedule. I have also reserved hotel rooms. Let us know so we can rebook the rooms.”
APC convention: Apprehension as Buhari is yet to make public his choice candidate for national chairman
Members of the ruling All Progressives Congress are said to be apprehensive about who would be President Buhari's choice candidate for the party's national chairmanship position.
Key members of the party also seem to be torn by many contributing factors to the crisis rocking the APC.
For others, should the president make his choice candidate public, the crisis among some party members could be resolved.
