Breaking: APC chieftain rejects Tinubu’s automatic ticket

Ahead of 2027 a chieftain and presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019, Chief Charles Udeogaranya has rejected the idea of an automatic ticket for the 2027 presidential candidate.

He made this declaration following the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu by the party leadership and the APC governors including the National Assembly lawmakers at the All Progressives Congress, APC National Summit in Abuja.

In a statement personally signed by him, Udeogaranya stated that consensus is far from it, saying he would contest for the Nigerian Presidency on the platform of APC in 2027.

According to him, “while I deeply and respectfully appreciate my fellow All Progressives Congress, APC members on their Abuja Summit, May I also respectfully inform that this democracy birthed by Thomas Jefferson in his declaration of the United States Independence in 1776, entrenched by Abraham Lincoln at his speech in Gettysburg 1863 and globally expressed by Martin Luther King jnr in his Washington 1963 speech; will not fail in Nigeria, come 2027.

Udeogaranya maintained “there is no room for consensus in continuous hunger and chronic poverty in Nigeria, no room for consensus in economic quagmire, no room for consensus on insecurity in Nigeria, no room for consensus on nepotism in Nigeria, no room for consensus on cluelessness in Nigeria and no room on me, I and myself in the leadership of Nigeria.”

Udeogaranya declared that he will contest Nigeria’s Presidency on the All Progressive Congress, APC platform to bring about a better Nigeria anchored on creativity, nationalism and prosperity for all Nigerians
