A Transparent national convention
According to the Punch, Ayu said an attempt to field a presidential candidate by the APC would be a sign of irresponsibility on the party.
Ayu added:
"They have a forced consensus where people are forced to sign. We are waiting for them to have a presidential convention.
“We challenge them to have a presidential convention openly as we are going to have so that Nigerians will see the difference between a political party that is ready to rescue Nigeria, and a disorganised political party that has destroyed Nigeria."
