As the national elective convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) draws near, the aspiration of former Governor of Borno state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff got a boost as Coalition of North-East APC Youths for Change on Wednesday endorsed him as the national chairman of the party.
The APC North-East youths while addressing journalists stated that the party needs “a strong, dynamic, decisive, competent and visionary leader that can halt the current drift of the affairs of the party to winning ways”.
The Convener of the Coalition, Abdullahi M Kokari who read the statement, stated that the coalition of APC Youths in the North-East region, “deemed it fit to call the attention of the sons and daughters of the region on the need to support senator Ali Modu Sherrif as the next National Chairman of the party.”
According to him, “We feel honoured to tell the world, particularly APC National delegates on the importance of putting aside their differences to ensure that Senator Sheriff is supported, being the most qualified among the contestants”
Abdullahi Kokari added that, “We are confident as a group that our common stand will open new pages in the journey of restoring the principles of good governance and community participatory democracy into the ruling party which depends on the decision of our stakeholders and National delegates, thereby making the ruling APC viable and politically strong if Senator Ali Sheriff is elected National Chairman.
“It is our believe that our great party can be made better, hence our stand today will send a signal to our stakeholders to see reasons why Senator Ali Sheriff remains the only viable candidate among his contemporaries.We want APC to develop, prosper and become the pride of our nation’s democracy, though this depends on our choices in the next coming APC National convention”, he added.
He also said that, “As youths and card carrying members of the ruling APC who laboured for this party since it’s formation in 2014, we must agree that we are the answer because we have shown commitment and passion towards ensuring we get what belongs to us by taking action and getting involved”.
The Convener of the youths coalition further stated that, “Senator Ali Modu Sherrif as the face of productivity and good governance, have served successfully as Governor of Borno state after serving the nation as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He was part of the formation of the current ruling party and he has over the years, garnered all the requisite experience to make our party more relevant in the eyes of Nigerians, particularly in reconciling the aggrieved members.
“In spite of the challenges we face as a party, we must know that the future of APC is fully represented if Senator Ali Modu Sherrif becomes the next National Chairman.He is a Nigerian who has travelled to all the length and breath of Nigeria, building the temples of peace and unity, to keep this country together. He has moved around in the country, interacting with young Nigerians and this is one of the many reasons he is second to none among his contemporaries,” the APC North-East Youth coalition concluded.
