Buhari Revealed Attributes Of His Preferred Presidential Candidate – Gov Sule

The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule on Tuesday stated that President Muhammadu Buhari told Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress his preferred candidate.

Sule revealed this during an interview on Channels TV on Tuesday.

Naija News had earlier reported that President Buhari met with the 22 governors of APC earlier on Tuesday to discuss the presidential primary of the party

Sule while speaking at the meeting said, “The president said that our consensus candidate or the candidate to be selected must be acceptable to Nigerians, somebody who understands what the APC is all about and is after.

“He mentioned clearly that the person must be able to go to all the parts of the country and be accepted. Similar to what President Buhari has said, we must bring someone that can win elections and be able to sustain all the good things that the APC has done.

“But if you are looking for a name the president didn’t mention that. He gave the attributes and allowed us to think of the right person in these few days while he is away in Spain. When he comes back everybody can say we have thought about it.”

Sule further stated that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party is not just contesting against the APC’s presidential candidate but also the party as a whole.

He added, “He has more work to do because he has to convince people that he is better than our candidate and APC.”
