Stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress APC, Zone One, Kaduna State have pleaded with top organs of the party to allow the zone to produce the next governorship candidate for the 2023 elections for equity and fairness.
The Zone comprises Zaria, Sabon-Gari, Soba, Makarfi, Ikara, Giwa and Kubau.
Addressing a news conference in Kaduna, representatives of the stakeholders, Ahmed Yahaya Lere and Dr. Usman Ahmed Danbaba spoke of the strategic position of the zone in APC in Kaduna State.
The zone in question argued has been marginalised when it comes to appointments in spite of their contributions to the party in the state.
“It is known to everyone that our zone is the strongest in the State, this is so because our consistent performance is undoubtedly outstanding in all previous elections of 2015 and 2019 and the recent local government elections.
“Some of us here were State and Zonal party executives, returning agents of the party, former government officials and contestants but most importantly, we are genuinely concerned about the future of the party and consolidating on the gains made by the administration of Malam Nasiru El-Rufai.
Therefore, they said, “for the future of our great party, the APC, we believe that our views and stands on the forthcoming party primary election of our great party should be listened to and be respected. In particular, as it affects the choice of a predecessor to our leader, Malam El-Rufai”.
They disclosed that, after lengthy deliberations and consultations on behalf of our people, we make bold to demand the following on the choice of a successor to our leader, Governor El-Rufai.
