We'll reclaim Sokoto from PDP, retain other N'West states -- APC N'West youth leader

 

...Says PDP will never rule again in Northwest

By Editor

The youth leader of All Progressives  Congress, (APC) Northwest, Abdulhamid Mohd has said that his  party will reclaim Sokoto state from the People's Democratic Party, (PDP) and retain states already governed by the ruling party in the northwest region. 

He described  the gubernatorial candidate of APC who is also a former deputy governor of the Sokoto,  Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu a formidable contenteder  who  will defeat PDP's candidate in the  upcoming poll.

Mohd stated that while working to ensure that Sokoto  becomes an APC state again, he added that the PDP will never taste  power in the the region. 

 

 According to the  APC youth wing leader, he said his party has over-delivered in terms of education, infrastrucre, among others in states it occupied in the region, and as a result,  retaining states under its control in the northwest will be a walkover  come 2023. 

In a statement by Mohd, he noted that, already, "many close allies of Governor Aminu Tambuwal have decamped from the PDP to APC and more of them are expected exit the opposition party before elections Insha Allah. This is a clear pointer to show that APC remains a party to beat in the northwest and entire Nigeria as a whole.

Mohd,  added that  "every political  stunts made by the opposition party to win our people over will be twarted. The PDP has ruled for 16 years and there is nothing good to write home about them. 

" Within 6 years of APCs governance in the northwestern states, except Sokoto led by  a PDP governor, we witnessed massive infrastructural development like never before. A  visit to kano and kaduna alone is evident to prove that our progressive governors are up and doing.  We want the benefit to spread accross and that's why we are taking over Sokoto ftom PDP next year," he said.

 According to Mohammad, "going by our calculations, we plan to get about 50 percent block votes from youths in the northwest for Tinubu/ Shetima in 2023. If we combine that with other targeted votes (from elderly people)  that we have been  making efforts to mobilize, then this will amount to about 10 to 12 million votes from the Northwest region alone." 

 He said " the region,  which is now competitive  has been a stronghold of the APC and it is one of the deciding factors to cruise the party to victory in 2023 presidential elections. However, more youths from the Northwest should carried along because, we have started a grassroot campaign like never before for the party.

By Editor The All Progressives Congress (APC ) northwest youths have assured the presidential candidate of the  party, Asiwaju Ahmed  Bola Tinubu of 12 to 14 million votes from the northwest zone,  ahead of the 2023 presidential election. It would be recalled that the  party polled 7.1 million in 2015 votes and 5.9 million votes from the region in 2019.   In a statement by the APC Northwest  youth leader, Hon. Abdulhamid Umar Muhammad he said already, youth leaders from Katsina, sokoto, kebbi, Kaduna, Zamfara , Jigawa and kano states  are currently penetrating the grassroots to preach the gospel of Tinubu/Shetima to people. He said,  " our target is to give the APC Presidential candidate at least 10 million votes in North west, as people from the region  are aware that both Tinubu and Shetima took care of business in their states as governors and we can all see the dividends in the respective states they governered."  On the APC presidential candidate's track records, Muhammad noted on a national level,  Asiwaju has built many youths, who are occupying different leadership positions, adding that, "his footprints of empowerment are everywhere. Therefore,  We from the northwest  are working assidously to ensure Tinubu becomes the president , because he represents prosperity, capacity, development, and prosperity."  "We are confident that Asiwaju's excellent performance in  Lagos  as a governor, in area of the academics, governance and administration,  will be replicated to address the challenges confronting this nation."  Reacting to the protest against the joint muslim ticket by the Coalition of APC Stakeholders network and Southwest Suppprters of Tinubu, the Muhammad said the presidential candidate made the right choice by choosing  Senator   kashim Shetima  as his running mate. He described   Shettima as an experienced  and intelligent   younger nationalist who whose eight years as governor of Borno State – from 2011 to 2019 – was a defining moment for the state. According to Muhammad, "as a matter of fact, just like Asiwaju, Senator Shetima was eqaullaly succeded by one of the best performing governors kn the country, in person of Govnor Babagana Zulum. "Shettima who is economically sound with vast experience in the banking sector, has all it takes to move the country forward with the APC presidential flag bearer. We believe Asiwaju  Tinubu settled for one of the best hands for the job of Nigeria’s Vice-President. "We appeal to Nigerians to shun religious acrimony and sentiments as 2023 general election is approaching, saying good candidate and performances should be the yardstick in the interest of a united, peaceful and prosperous Nigerian."
