KADUNA, North-West, Nigeria – The North-west APC Support Groups has thrown it weight behind the candidacy of Senator Umaru Tanko Almakura for the national chairmanship of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), saying he is the best qualified for the job.
A statement signed by the group’s National Coordinator, Yusuf Idris Amoke, made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Wednesday said it was convinced enough that Almakura’s leadership would successfully sail the party’s boat to safety leveraging on his bridge-building capability.
The group stated that it was with a great conviction and a call on patriotic responsibility that it openly adopt the candidacy of Sen. Almakura as the National Chairman of it great party, the APC.
“It is no longer news there is crisis bedevilling our great party from the days of Mr Oyegun most especially now that Mr President is out of the contest as a result of his completion of the two two-term as President of Nigeria.
“At trying times like this, our party needs a bridge builder, a detribalized Nigerian with a high sense of responsibility with the needed experience and exposure to lead us aright. We need a unifying figure, a pea peacemaker and a gentleman to take us out of the woods. These characteristics we found in Sen Almakura.
“He is a businessman who understands the value of money. A governor who understands the taste of victory under opposition central government as well as under ruling government and a father who understands the plight of his children.
“The above qualities and more led us to a conviction that with Sen Almakura, our party will come out stronger and better to lead this country out of the dungeon of unrest and economic stagnation the PDP led us into”, the statement reads.
