We ‘ll not impose candidates in 2023 – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured aspirants of all elective posts it will not impose any candidates in the lead-up to congresses, national convention and 2023 general elections.
The assurance was contained in a statement by the Secretary of the party’s Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John James Akpanudoedehe in Abuja on Thursday.
The Secretary alleged his earlier statement in reaction to the false allegation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2023 “self-succession” plan was being twisted and given unintended interpretations in some sections of the media.
“Our statement is simple. President Buhari has no third-term ambition, a position he (Buhari) has personally reiterated,” Akpanudoedehe reaffirmed.
He further said: “In adherence with internal democracy, when the time comes to elect the APC 2023 presidential flag bearer and other party candidates, the process will be in full compliance with the provisions of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution (as amended), the APC Constitution and the approved party guidelines for the nomination of candidates.
“For clarity, the APC constitution provides that party candidates in all elections emerge through democratically conducted primary elections or where possible, consensus.
“The misleading interpretations given the earlier statement, particularly conspiracies aimed at senior party leaders and their perceived presidential ambitions are unnecessary and misplaced.
“The APC leadership will not impose any candidates in the lead-up to Congresses, National Convention, and the 2023 General Elections.”
