Twelve days to the national convention of the All Progressives Congress, the ruling party is yet to sell forms to aspirants while all the committees set up by the party to ensure that the convention runs smoothly have failed to begin sitting.
It was also gathered that the governors were still very much divided on who the consensus candidate should be.
An APC chieftain, who craved anonymity stated that so far, it did not seem as if the party would be holding its convention on March 26.
He said so far, none of the chairmanship aspirants had agreed to step down for anyone while no meetings had been held with any of them by the governors.
The chieftain added, “By now, the governors ought to have started meeting with chairmanship aspirants with a view to getting some of them to step down. But because they are now divided into separate camps, they cannot agree on anything. There has been no negotiation with any chairmanship aspirant.
“They are not even selling forms yet. About 20 committees headed by governors were set up last week. None of them has started anything meaningful and we have just 11 days to go. As things stand, it is doubtful if the March 26 convention will hold. The three most important figures in the convention are the President, the party chairman and the national secretary and the three of them are not available at the moment.”
