Drop Your 2023 Presidential Ambition, APC Tells Yahaya Bello

• Muhammad implored Bello to prioritise interest of APC and let his political ambition take backseat.
  
  The North Central Council of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State shelve his presidential aspiration.

Kassim Muhammad, the Coordinator of APC North Central Council made the call while speaking at a press conference at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja, on Thursday.

Muhammad implored Bello to prioritise interest of APC and let his political ambition take backseat.

He asked Bello to put in hold his presidential ambition and support the zoning of the party’s National Chairmanship to the region.

Muhammad said Bello must allow the North Central part of the country to produce the next president, in the interest of fairness.

He said: “The North Central Council is equally appealing to the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello to have a rethink over his 2023 presidential ambition.

“We strongly believe that conceding the presidential ticket of our party, the APC to the southern part of the country would enhance equity and political justice. We believe that the Kogi State Governor is a true democrat who believes in one Nigeria.

“We are therefore appealing to Yahaya Bello to drop his presidential ambition, and join us in the campaign to ensure that the North Central produces the next APC National Chairman”.

Though he was yet to publicly declare his intentions to contest, his presidential campaign posters have been sighted in some states.
