The All Progressives Congress (APC) has began its search for
the party’s vice presidential candidate ahead of the 2015 general
elections.
According to report, a closed door
stakeholders meeting chaired by a chieftain from Ondo State, was held
behind closed doors last weekend in Ogun State and having been convinced
that the presidential flagbearer will surely come from the North, APC
is now searching for a vice-presidential candidate from the South in
preparation for the race.
According a report published in a
national newspaper today, some of the names tabled for scrutiny with a
view to being nominated include former Governor of Lagos State and
National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Edo State
Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, his Rivers and Imo state counterparts,
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Rochas Okorocha respectively as well as
former governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Richard, Adeniyi Adebayo.
An anonymous source at the meeting said, “if
former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari eventually becomes the
party’s presidential candidate, Tinubu will automatically pair with him
because of their experiences and exposure as former rulers.
“If
any of the former Federal Capital Territory (FCT), minister, Mallam
el-Rufai, incumbent Speaker, Hon. Tambuwal or Governor Lamido eventually
picks the party’s ticket, any one among Fashola, Oshiomhole, Amaechi,
Okorocha and Adebayo can be nominated for the vice presidential slot.”
