The Arewa joint committee (AJC) has explained why it organised an interactive series for candidates for the 2023 presidential election.
Murtala Aliyu, chairman, steering committee of the group, said this on Tuesday at a media briefing held in Kaduna.
“One candidate chose not to participate. We are grateful to the candidates who honoured our invitation and who showed respect to public opinion and the Nigerian voter by submitting themselves to the most intimate scrutiny by northern elders and other groups, the media, and the public. “Finally, they raised the bar in our search for leadership that respects accountability and competence.”Advertisement
