‘APC has not informed me of candidate endorsement’ – Chairmanship aspirant

A National Chairmanship aspirant of Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress, APC Senator Sani Musa, says the party has not informed him of the endorsement of any candidate for the Chairman’s position.

Senator Sani Musa, who represents Niger East Senatorial District, said this while speaking to journalists after submitting his Nomination and Expression of Interest forms at the APC Headquarters in Abuja.

He responded to questions on the reported endorsement of another aspirant by the Nigerian President. Senator Musa said that if there were already an endorsement, then the party would not have made the sale of the forms open to everyone.

“Why did the party sell forms to us? You sold forms to us. And there’s been nobody that officially contacted me or any other aspirants. Nobody! And the spokesperson to Mr. President, Femi Adesina, had said that there is no endorsement. So, we want vibrant leadership. We want leadership that will change the status quo. What are we talking about? The endorsement I want is your endorsement. I want the endorsement of 43 million APC members. That is what I need,” he said.

Senator Sani added that he would bring cohesive leadership to the APC to give the party direction.

“We have a democracy with a solid foundation, but what we lack is the leadership that will transform our party structure to what it should be. A platform to groom leaders. That is what I’m bringing new to APC. And APC will not depend on anybody to fund it. With 43 million members, we have no business going cap in hand to beg anybody for money,” Sani said.

Recalled that the APC has zoned the position of the National Chairman to the North-Central zone of Nigeria.
