This signifies that Nigeria is at war. … Kashim Shettima ought not be allowed to sit where presidential candidates should sit…I challenged him too!” If I was sitting there, I would not stand up for him, because Tinubu is the one who is supposed to be here.

Mr Adamu allegedly wrote Mr Tinubu expressing dissatisfaction the composition of the party's presidential campaign council.

As such, an unsigned “DRAFT” letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the Party and the PCC.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has debunked a letter purportedly written to Bola Tinubu by Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the party.

As such, an unsigned “DRAFT” letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the party and the PCC. An UNSIGNED letter that marks itself as a ‘DRAFT’ cannot and should not be attributed to its purported author. He said the purported letter is the handiwork of the opposition parties, who he claims are striving to cause a crisis in the party.

The last may not have been heard about the crisis rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), after the National Chairman of the party, Senator.

“I am sure Your Excellency will agree with me that this is an eventuality that we must do all in our power to prevent from happening.

WhereisTinubu is trending on social media. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the APC was absent at the signing of the nation.

[September 29, 2022] In January 2015 I was asking where is Buhari and being attacked by Buharists and APC people. Who is actually the presidential candidate of the APC? I am interested in Nigeria, not the leaders. Posters of missing persons containing pictures of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, circulated on social media, with different memes. #WhereisTinubu is trending on social media.

Those who know Adamu well enough will confirm that the tone of that letter reflects his expression; always wanting to be in control of everything. As such, an unsigned “DRAFT” letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the Party and the PCC. “Whether the APC denied the letter or not, Adamu has achieved his aim by indirectly using the media to pass his message. But the truth remains that not everybody can be a member of the PCC,” he said. “That’s why the PCC list has been taken back to the drawing board to harmonise it to accommodate everybody. The concerns that the NWC raised has been taken care of. An unsigned letter that marks itself as a ‘DRAFT’ cannot and should not be attributed to its purported author. There was a proper synergy between the candidate and the NWC. “We are to further review their names to be on the nominees’ list. I am sure by the time we unveil all the membership lists, the other political parties will run away,” he noted. The 422-member list is not all the people nominated for our campaign.

This will be your own way of showing appreciation for the work of the NPC and an affirmation of your contribution to electoral peace in Nigeria. “The implication is that for the next 148 days, political parties, candidates and their supporters are free to traverse the country, holding meetings, rallies, processions and door-to-door campaigns. The INEC chairman said it was not enough to sign the peace accord, as what was more important was to abide by its letter and spirit. This is important considering the connection between peaceful campaigns, on the one hand, and peaceful and credible elections, on the other. Baba listed the prohibitive acts, which politicians and their supporters were to avoid in line with the electoral law. Therefore, I call on all Nigerians, political parties, politicians, security agencies, the election management body (Independent National Electoral Commission – INEC), and all stakeholders to ensure that Nigeria is placed first above regional and sectional claims.” Buhari enjoined Nigerians, political parties, politicians, security agencies, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and all stakeholders to ensure that the country was placed above all regional and sectional considerations. He is in London because they would not let him rest in Lagos; he comes into Abuja most of the time and they would still not let him rest. “Tinubu is the big masquerade in the field and he will come out last.” It has shifted focus away from issue-based campaigns to amplifying the potential for personal attacks, insults, and incitement. It is a non-governmental initiative conceptualised in 2014 with the objective of supporting free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria. “This man (Tinubu) has been working for an average of 20 hours daily, so some people thought he needed to leave the country because they would not let him rest.

The electorate needs to be fully informed on the process and be able to voice their concerns. The television series would create opportunities for engaging in a two-way dialogue between citizens and relevant stakeholders to increase citizens’ participation in the electoral process, rather than the traditional one-way communication of information delivery on election processes. By being active participants in the electoral process, they can hold their intended representatives accountable to deliver on their promises.”

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Abdullahi Adamu has accused the party's presidential candidate Bola Tinubu of appointing members of ...

Without further admonishment or complaints, I wish hereby to call upon Your Excellency to restrain the PCC from undertaking solo projects of this nature, and agree to work with all stakeholders towards taking our Party to victory. May I therefore, point out to Your Excellency, that winning elections is a cooperative as well as collaborative effort, that is done in transparency and disinterested manner by all parties concerned, by respecting established boundaries and acknowledging the contributions of everyone. It is only by doing so that we will establish the premise for victory and gain the trust and confidence of our dear countrymen and women. Our recollection of those meetings clearly leaves us in no doubt that a breach of agreement has occurred, and that a return to the principles of cooperation and respect for each other is required. It is against this background that the NWC received with astonishment and regret, the press release by the PCC on 23rd September, 2022, in which a purported list of appointees was announced, which effectively served as the approved roster of participants in the Party’s Presidential Campaign Council. This correspondence has become necessary in view of developments that took place over the last few days around the purported appointments into the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) that was announced precipitately by officials of the Council, without making a recourse to the NWC for approval.

Fresh crisis has hit the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the retraction of a 'draft letter' purported.

We will not be distracted by the wishes and actions of detractors that wait gleefully but in vain for some kind of crisis to erupt between the party and the PCC. “As such, an unsigned “draft” letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the party and the PCC. Morka in the letter disassociating the NWC from the letter titled: “APC Presidential Campaign Council – Abdullahi Adamu did not write Tinubu” had said:”To be clear, the “draft” letter did not emanate from the party. “Many of us have agreed to stand by our decision on the letters to Tinubu and Buhari. Daily Sun gathered that the decision by Morka to officially distance the NWC as author of the draft letter, given ongoing rift with the PCC is causing serious ripples and division among members of the party’s leadership. We never agreed on such decision to warrant him making such U-turn unilaterally on the decision we took during our meeting on Wednesday.

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mike Ozekhome, has said none of those contesting to be the president of Nigeria in 2023 can solve the nation's many.

He held that the nation had derailed from the vision of its founding fathers, adding that if those in power do not want a change, “the nation is likely to crumble.” Ozekhome advocated “embracing our discarded Prime Minister system of government or dismantling and recoupling several of the institutions that help or hinder us.” The legal practitioner insisted that the presidential candidates “cannot solve the problem of insecurity, poor economy, poverty, hunger and hopelessness that has enveloped the country.”

Good journalism costs a lot of money. “There is no doubt that Tinubu is the idol of Yorubaland, if not of Nigeria today. “Baba Adebanjo has never supported the Yoruba cause and whatever he does now goes to no issue as far as I’m concerned. At least three-quarter of Nigeria idolise Asiwaju and they have hope in him that he is coming to redeem Nigeria, that he is coming to transform Nigeria, that he is coming to give hope to the wretched, the poor, the disadvantaged and the under privileged,” Mr Shittu added. “What belongs to us, Asiwaju will give it to us because he is not partial, he believes in progressive because progressive is justice, equity and fairness and that is why we strongly have the hope in Asiwaju to deliver Nigeria.” [spoke](https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/556187-why-we-are-supporting-peter-obi-afenifere.html) [for the Afenifere](https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/556187-why-we-are-supporting-peter-obi-afenifere.html) at a press conference had, for the second time, [said](https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/556187-why-we-are-supporting-peter-obi-afenifere.html) it is only equitable for an Igbo president to emerge having had a Yoruba president between 1999 – 2007.
