The presidential ambition of General Mohammadu Buhari rtd is
said to be militating against the merger between his party, Congress for
Progressive Change, CPC and Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN.
The ACN at a recent congress adopted a motion to team with
CPC and others to form the All Progressive Party (APC)
Source close to Buhari camp told NigerianCurrent that one of
the conditions that CPC is pushing for the workability of the merger is for the
new party to adopt Buhari as its presidential candidate in 2015.
Information has it that ahead of the CPC's national
convention, the party has resolved that it is either Buhari or no deal as ACN
appears to have dominated the affairs of the new party at the detriment of
other opposition parties in the merger talk.
An informed source said that some chieftains of CPC are not happy that
the logo of the new party is purely that of ACN, situation they said is not
acceptable to them.
It was gathered that die-hard followers of Buhari threatened
to pull out of the merger talk if he, Buhari is not adopted as as the standard
bearer of the new party in 2015 presidential election.
