Former President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Alhaji Sani Abdullahi Lulu a while ago purchased the gubernatorial form of All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the primary election.
Mr Fix as Alhaji Lulu is fondly called stormed APC National Secretariat in Abuja at about 12 noon and went straight to pick the form amidst unprecedented cheers from supporters that trooped into the nation’s capital.
He said, “It is not how wealthy you are but how you are able to use your position to transform the lives of people.
“If you are transparent you pay salary on time, you implement projects that will benefit the people.”
Lulu said his experience as a Director of Sports and later NFF President had prepared him for the tasks ahead.
He said he would accept whatever mode of primary adopted by the national leadership of the party for Kogi state.
The APC National Working Committee had adopted an indirect primary for Kogi.
This had sparked reactions from other aspirants who said the decision was to the advantage of Governor Yahya Bello, who is seeking a return ticket.
But Lulu said he would accept the final decision of the party on the matter as a true-party man.
“I’m loyal to the APC and I’m sure the party will do the right thing. I’m here to serve my state. The most relevant and tested politicians in Kogi have endorsed my candidacy.
“One important thing is to unite everybody in Kogi. I will work with elders, youths, and women; they have all blessed me. Where I worked before, there were no resources and I made a great impact. I shall do my best if given the opportunity.”
