The All Progressive Congress (APC) held its national convention today to determine candidates of strategic positions at the Eagle Square in Abuja in what can be referred to as sideline activities at the venue.

The event saw funfair and processions of various supporters carrying placards each in support of preferred candidates for presidential, governorship, senate, as well as the position of the national chairman APC.

Senator George Akume's volunteers were seen all over the place carrying placards in support of their candidate

Buhari had tasked members to put their acts together to ensure they do not lose the next election while calling for unity of all members.

But the campaign for the position of the national chairman could be seen to have continued as the procession and card-carrying of various candidates were the order of the day.

One of the Akume supporters who simply calls himself Terhemba noted that their support had nothing to do with the president's decision as they were out to show their support for the candidate they knew could deliver.

"We know the president has adopted Adamu as consensus chairman but we feel they should give Akume a chance to show his capability as we know he can deliver.

"We see him work as our governor, senator, and now minister and we believe his track record speaks volumes for him.  

On the other side, supporters were seen dancing, jeering and Mnnenna Ordegah, one of the supporters carrying placards for Bola Tinubu, disclosed that she was bound to make enough to provide a decent meal for her children during the weekend.

"Today, aunty (she called our reporter) my children's food is sure because they must pay me before we finish, at least small money will be paid and we will take drinks and food for sure.

"I am a trader, I sell children's dresses but these days when people are looking for what to eat. How many people get to buy clothes?" she queried in rhetorics.
