Ahead of its presidential primary slated for today, June 6, President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with the All Progressives Congress, APC, governors from the north at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Although President Buhari has maintained his position on the consensus arrangement, there has not been any agreement among the 23 presidential aspirants.
The meeting with the APC governors from the north is the fourth parley in his effort to ensure that the party presents a consensus candidate to reduce acrimony that may arise at the end of the convention.
