President Muhammadu Buhari. |
Leaders
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the six North East states over the weekend
vowed to remove geopolitical sentiments and ensure the defeat of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the
forthcoming presidential election.
Among
the leaders that gathered for what was described as a regional strategy meeting
were Governors Kashim Shettima (Borno), Jibrilla Bindow, (Adamawa State) Senate
Leader Ahmed Lawan and Senator Ali Ndume.
The
APC leaders said defeating Atiku Abubakar is a task they must accomplish regardless
of the challenges they might face. Speaking at the APC Zonal stakeholders’
meeting in Bauchi, the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, said Atiku’s
candidature will not deny President Buhari his deserved popular votes in the
Northeast.
Shettima
said: “The Northeast is a Buhari territory; and he is the single kinetic entity
in the Northeast political firmament, and by God’s grace, his re-election is
almost a foregone conclusion. “We wish the PDP candidate well, but we must not
forget the fact that politics is local and is driven by local issues and
President Buhari has mostly been responding to our local needs more than anyone
else”.
