The All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential aspirant in 2019, Chief Charles Udeogaranya has insisted that there is no room for automatic ticket for 2027 presidential candidate.
This is coming following the recent APC national summit in Abuja, where the party leadership and the APC governors, including the National Assembly lawmakers elected under the APC platform, endorsed President Bola Tinubu as the party’s sole candidate.
In a statement, he stated that consensus is far from it, saying he would contest for the presidency on the platform of APC in 2027.
He said: “While I deeply and respectfully appreciate my fellow APC members on their Abuja summit, May I also respectfully inform them 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 in2027.
“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.”
He declared that he would contest the presidency on the APC platform to bring about a better Nigeria anchored on creativity, nationalism and prosperity for all Nigerians.
