Part of what must be acknowledged today is the fact that across all the seven states in the North-West, our leaders and candidates have been able to reconcile with all party leaders and members and accordingly resolve all the challenges arising from internal party contests leading to emergence of candidates for the 2023 elections.
“All these signposts victory for the APC in the North-west for our Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the Presidential election of February 25, 2023 and all our candidates for National Assembly. It also signposts victory in the Governorship and State Assembly elections in all the seven states of North-West. We are very confident that with Allah’s blessing all the seven State’s of North-West, including Sokoto State will be APC States as from May 29, 2023.
“As we move to Election Day, February 25, 2023, we are confident that our leaders in all the seven states of North-west will give all necessary guide to party members, candidates, and all party supporters.”
The APC chieftain, however called on all members of Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) from the zone to join all party leaders at state levels to ensure effective mobilisation of voters on election day.
“We must remind everyone that in the end politics is local and victory for the election will be at the polling unit.
“Without doubt, APC North-west presidential rally has affirmed that North-west is APC and APC is North-West. We must remind Nigerians that the political history of Nigeria has shown that every Presidential candidate that wins the votes of North-west wins the Presidency.
