Governor of Borno State, North East Nigeria, Babagana Zulum has reiterated the commitment of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to present a united front for its success at the 2023 general elections.
Gatekeepers News reports that Zulum gave the assurance while receiving members of a political pressure group, the Progress Consolidation Group (PCG) who paid him a courtesy visit in Maiduguri.
He noted that contending interests in the forthcoming presidential primaries and other elections would not stop the APC from reaching a consensus that would consolidate the party’s unity and popularity nationwide.
Zulum stressed his commitment to work with the party’s hierarchy, members of the National Assembly and leaders at all levels to ensure the actualisation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s decisions as the party’s de facto leader.
Zulum said, “I am solidly behind initiatives aimed towards enhancing the unity of our party and progress of Nigeria; at this crucial time, no one and nothing will prevent the party from moving in unison.
“We have to identify the right individuals to lead the nation and the task requires the contributions of governors, party hierarchy and the president working in concert.
“Individual aspirations may have to be downplayed because we all have to concur with the decision of the leader of our party.
“Borno State under me will promote unity and all efforts to ensure the success of the APC.”
