A political pressure group, known as the Vision for a Better, Progressive, and United Nigeria, has outlined the benefits the All Progressives Congress, APC, stands to gain, if Ali Modu-Sheriff emerges as the National Chairman of the ruling party,
The group submitted that the former Borno State Governor and National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has massive experience in party administration, adding that, the fact that he was once the National Chairman of the main opposition party, as well, puts him strategically ahead of others.
It argued that Modu-Sheriff has the spread and goodwill to lead the APC to victory in the 2023 Presidential election.
The National Coordinator of the Group, Comrade Peter Akubuo, in a statement, in Abuja, on Wednesday, urged the APC to zone the slot of the National Chairman to the North-East, to pave the way for Modu-Sherrif to contest and possibly win.
According to the statement: “We as a pressure group within the APC, are appealing to the former Borno Governor (Sheriff) to contest for the Office of the National Chairman of our great party. We have no doubt that his leadership will strengthen the APC, and reposition it for the 2023 general elections.”
The statement added further that: “APC at this time, needs a strong and experienced Leader like Sheriff. The fact that he was once the National Chairman of the PDP, puts him at a great advantage. It will mean that the major opposition party will collapse into the APC.”
