Contrary to popular opinions that President Muhammadu Buhari would have a smooth ride in getting the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2019 presidency, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State says there won’t be automatic ticket for any candidate of the party in the elections.
Okorocha, who was being specific about the presidential election, said if President Muhammadu Buhari decides to contest, he would have to go through the procedure provided by the Constitution to emerge as the party’s candidate, Channels Television reports.
“We won’t allow imposition of candidates, it must be democratically done,” he told State House correspondents in Abuja shortly after meeting with the President.
“If President Buhari will lead the ship in 2019, it must be democratically done – and I say democratically, transparently.”
