As All Progressive Congress (APC) search for its chairmanship figure continues, a group called Concerned Citizen of Like Mind on Saturday asked the party to search no more but make do with Zamfara born politician, Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari as the most qualified party’s faithful.
Addressing a press conference at the popular Arewa House Kaduna, Chairman of the group, Auwal Sani, argued that, the former governor of Zamfara has the unifying capability that would ensure the stability of the party ahead of the 2023 elections in the country.
According to Sani, “we will support the candidate who inspires us, who inspires all of you, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country’s best days are still to come.
“We’ve found that candidate. He is a fighter who cares passionately about the causes he believes in without demonizing those who hold a different view.
“We are proud to stand here today and offer our help, our voice, our energy and our commitment to make Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari the next APC National Chairman.
“We’ve seen him connect with people from every walk of life and with individuals on both sides of the aisle.
“We know the true record of Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari. There is this courage he showed when so many others were silent or simply went along.
“We sense from Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari the hunger to move on and move Nigeria forward. We see it not just in young people, but in all our people. And in Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari, we see not just the audacity, but the possibility of hope for the Nigeria that is yet to be.
With Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion. With Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari, we will close the book on the old politics of race against race, gender against gender, ethnic group against ethnic group.
“We know that he’s ready to be APC National Chairman from day one. And when he raises his hand on inauguration day, at that very moment, we will lift the spirits of our nation and begin to restore Nigeria’s standing in the world”, the group hoped.
