Adamu was of the opinion that members of the party reserve the right to contest for the party’s ticket. He said only God would crown effort of who would be the winner.
The former Nasarawa State Governor made this narration while being interviewed by Voice of America, Hausa Service.
He said the party would not deviate from the
established guidelines, to choose the flagbearer of the party from the 28 presidential aspirants.
Adamu said: “You can’t stop our party stalwarts from contesting elections or aspiring for the presidency. It is their right and we are happy for them. There is nothing wrong for anybody aspiring for the exalted seat of the presidency.
“It is God that decides who gets what. Once God makes up his mind and says this is who He wants, that is what we are praying for. We have 28 aspirants for the presidential ticket and everybody knows that all of them cannot get the ticket.
“If it’s God’s wish, they all can even be president of the country one after the other. Ours is to ensure justice in the choice of who emerges as the candidate of the party. That does not mean we are perfect. But we pray we do the right thing.”
