The PUNCH reports that the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress had adopted Senator Godswill Akpabio and Jubrin Barau as the preferred candidates for the position of Senate President and Deputy, respectively.
“We are going to get to the floor of the House and the election will take place. And knowing that it is a democratic setting, we need to be having this kind of engagement.
“This is my first place of call. But I will also visit other parties; Labour Party, SDP, PDP, APGA and YPP and seek the support of their members on this project. “That is to show to you that the 10th Assembly is completely different in that we knew that we have 7 parties. The vote of every party counts and it is critical to us.“The most important and encouraging is the president’s speech that he is going to rule Nigeria according to the constitution of Nigeria.”
The acting national chairman of the NNPP, Abba Kawu-Ali, described Yari as a competent leader “capable to occupy the sit of the senate Presidency.” He said, “Yari has shown his capacity as a two-term governor of Zamfara State, we are confident that when you get there you won’t fail.”All rights reserved.
