Niger State Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Haliru Zakari Jikantoro has presented Hon. Umar Mohammed Bago and Comrade Yakubu Garba as Governorship and Deputy candidates to Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2023 general elections.
Jikantoro in a statement issued by the state party Publicity Secretary, Musa Sarkinkaji, noted that the party made wider consultation with the critical stakeholders to arrive at candidates.
The party chairman, however, described the decision as “Good thinking, good combination and good products to the state”, adding that the decision was in line with the track-records of Comrade Yakubu Garba within the confines of state civil service.
The Chairman called on Nigerlites to accord the party and candidates maximum acceptability in order to move Niger State to the greater heights.
