BREAKING: APC Presidential Convention Voting Ends Amid Rigging Allegations
According to SaharaReporters, voting has now concluded at the ongoing All Progressives Congress special convention in Abuja, where the presidential candidate for 2023 will be chosen.
The voting by the 2,322 delegates was observed to end around 7.30am.
President Muhammadu Buhari left Eagle Square, the convention’s venue, around 1.20 a.m. on Wednesday, before voting began.
Before leaving, Buhari urged party members to remain united and avoid acrimony.
Since national chairman Abdullahi Adamu attempted to impose a consensus candidate on the party, the ruling party has been in disarray.
Meanwhile, 11 northern APC governors have declared their intention to zone the presidency to the south.
The party’s three-day special national convention began on June 6 and will climax with the election of a presidential flag bearer today.
Eyes are on APC national leader Bola Tinubu, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi.
Earlier, Governors Kayode Fayemi, Abubakar Badaru, and ex-Governor Ibikunle Amosun among others stepped down for Tinubu.
Amaechi earlier in the night alleged rigging in the election process, while insisting on transparency in the ballot.
