Sen. Abdullahi Adamu (APC-Nasarawa West),
By BENJAMIN ORISEMEKE, Abuja
A leading aspirant for the Chairmanship seat of the All progressive Congress (APC) Senator Abdullahi Adamu has insisted that he is the best man to lead the party better than it is doing at the moment.
Sen. Abdullahi, who said this in a chat with journalists on Wednesday in Abuja, stressed that he has a better understanding of the party than any other aspirants.
After several postponement, the APC will hold its national convention on Saturday.
According to him, “I understands the party, its principles and objectives of where it is headed”.
“Nobody contesting for the chairmanship position is better prepared than me to lead the party. My antecedents will give me the ticket,” he said.
The former Nasarawa State Governor also used the opportunity to debunked the report making the rounds that he was not screened on Tuesday just as it was alleged that he is not a member of the party (APC).
According to the Senator, he would not engage in negative propaganda to malign his opponents. “I am still in the race. I don’t believe in mudslinging because it is not an inheritance but an opportunity to serve.”
He further explained: “They said I was not screened, it is not in my place to fix the date for the screening. I was screened at 12pm today (Wednesday), and I left. The report of me not being screened is the action of people who believe in blackmail.”
On consensus candidates, he noted that past conventions had always been more of consensus than election.
“Since inception, there has not been an election for the chairmanship position; it has always been by consensus. But whichever way it goes, I will abide by the party’s rule,” he said.
