The All Progressives Congress, APC, chairmen in the six states of the north-central geopolitical zone have unanimously endorsed the candidacy of senator representing Kwara Central senatorial district at the National Assembly, Dr. Bukola Saraki, for the position of President of the Senate.
The APC state chairmen of Kwara, Kogi, Nasarawa, Plateau, Niger and Benue issued a statement at the end of their meeting in Ilorin Friday, where they upheld Saraki as their preferred candidate for the office of the Senate president.
They made this known in a statement signed by the Kwara State APC chairman who doubles as the forum’s chairman, Hon. Ishola Balogun-Fulani, and his Kogi state’s counterpart, Haddi Ameto, who is the secretary of the forum.
“We, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmen from the North-central Geo- political Zone met at the weekend and unanimously endorsed Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki as our preferred candidate as the Senate President for the 8th National Assembly.
“Our decision to endorse Senator Saraki, representing Kwara Central Senatorial District at the upper chamber of the National Assembly was borne out of his unprecedented commitment to the growth and success of the party at all levels in the Zone and across the country.
“We, the party chairmen, who are the field officers can attest, without any contradiction that Saraki’s unparalleled commitment to the party broke the hitherto political Jinx in the zone where the PDP was holding sway and delivered the zone to All Progressives Congress (APC), a feat that was unprecedented in the history of the zone and indeed Nigerian political history.
“As the party leaders in our various states, we hereby unequivocally say that our people unanimously give their support to Saraki Senate Presidency without iota of doubt in his ability to make the zone and Nigeria proud in no distance future and as well deliver as he had done in other endeavours he had involved in the past,” the APC chairmen stated.
