Governor of Jigawa State, North West Nigeria, Mohammed Badaru has purchased the presidential expression of interest and nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gatekeepers News reports that Badaru obtained the nomination and the expression of interest forms at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
He said his decision followed a stakeholders’ meeting of the ruling APC at the Government House on Tuesday night.
Badaru noted that he was pressurized to contest for the presidential seat by his colleagues.
He said he was capable, adding that if given the chance to succeed Buhari, he would continue with the president’s “positive programmes and policies.”
Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Public Relations, Habibu Nuhu Kila, who confirmed the development said, “It is true that Governor Badaru has travelled to Abuja to secure nomination form for the 2023 presidential election.”
