Barely a week after the emergence of Ahmed Bola Tinubu as the Presidential Flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general election, the Northeast APC Youth Stakeholders Forum has appealed for his running mate to come from the Northeast region.
The Forum argued that Zoning the position of the Vice President to the North East will neutralise the PDP Presidential candidate, and mobilises massive support from the region and other zones to ensure victory of Tinubu.
Making this call during an international press conference yesterday, in Abuja, the Forum’s Chairman, Haruna Adamu Sardauna, noted that the North-East region had consistently given block votes to the APC and supported candidate from the other region right from its inception.
Sardauna added that the appeal was apt, looking at the current pathetic situation that region is embedded with due to insurgency and other social unrest menace.
“While appreciating our party loyal members especially from the North-West and North Central Zones, we are appealing for their special consideration of the North-East Zone for the position of the Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general election.
“We therefore, Appealed to our National, State critical and Non-critical stakeholders especially our father president Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR), our candidate Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Senator Abdullahi Adamu led APC
National Working Committee,” he stressed.
