The All Progressives Congress, APC experienced some sort of crisis following strong reservations among its major presidential candidates over the procedure for adopting the 2015 presidential candidate for the party, over the weekend.

Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and former vice-president Atiku Abubakar, being the party’s major actors were at the head of the major divisions over the adoption of a consensus or the conduct of primaries for the adoption of the presidential candidate.

Party sources disclosed that Buhari’s supporters in the party were pushing for consensus on the fact that majority of the party positions across board were filled with consensus. On the other hand, the Buhari supporters are praying that if the consensus arrangement is jettisoned for any reason that a direct primary involving all 18 million registered members of the party be held.

On the other hand, Atiku’s supporters proposed a Modified Direct Primary, which would involve about 20,000 delegates choosing the party candidate. That prospect is feared by the Buhari camp who claimed that it would offer opportunity to easily woo or take over delegates hitherto pledged to other aspirants.
