Presidential Candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in the 2023 general elections, Yabagi Yusuf Sani, has been adopted as the preferred candidate of the North-central geo-political zone.
The chairman of the North Central Peoples Forum (NCPF), Chief Gabriel Aduku, announced this Monday in Abuja at a meeting between officials of the forum and the national leadership of the ADP led by the Presidential candidate and his running mate, Dr Okey Okoro Udo.
Chief Aduku stated that the adoption of Y. Y. Sani was based on the consideration of his track record as a colossus who has been prominent in the struggle for the restoration of representative governance in Nigeria way back in the Third Republic.
He described the ADP presidential candidate as a great patriot with a broad based vision for the progress and development of the entire country without the encumbrances of regional, ethnic or religious biases.
The NCPF leader stated that the north-central region more than any other zone in the country deserves to be given a chance to ascend the leadership of the country in view of the incontrovertible historical fact that it is the only region that has produced neither a democratically elected president nor vice president from the First Republic to the Forth Republic.
“North-central is geographically, politically and economically the bond that keeps Nigeria together and many sons and daughters of the area have contributed immensely to the advancement of the country in different sectors,” Adiku said.
He added that the North-central deserves to be supported by the rest of the country through the democratic process to the apex political leadership by massively voting an outstanding personality like Sani as president of Nigeria.
