Consensus Moves Crash In PDP, APC Aspirants Rule Out Option

The consensus option being canvassed by some of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirants appears dead despite spirited efforts by its protagonists to make it happen.

Further assault on the plan came yesterday from Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike who branded consensus advocates as insincere.

The Nation also learnt that the Pan-Igbo cultural group, Ohanaeze, and some presidential hopefuls from the Southeast are in the process of working out a counter move against the consensus option engineered by four aspirants from the North.

Sources in the All Progressives Congress (APC) completely ruled it out of consideration in the party.

Wike, it was gathered, currently has the support of five of the 13 PDP governors in his bid for the presidency while four others are rooting for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
