Borno state Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum has said the ruling All Progressives Congress APC will rely on President Muhammadu Buhari, its governors and other party leaders to decide on who emerges the presidential flag-bearer of the party ahead of the 2023 general election.
According to him, contending interests in the forthcoming presidential primaries and other elections will not stop the APC from establishing a consensus that would consolidate party unity and national progress.
Speaking while welcoming members of the Progressive Consolidation Group PCG to his office in Maiduguri on Friday, Governor Zulum emphasized that Borno state will work with the party’s hierarchy, members of the National Assembly and leaders at ward and state levels to ensure actualization of decisions to be made by President Muhammadu Buhari who is the party’s de facto leader.
Members of the pro-Osinbajo PCG met Governor Zulum, the Secretary to Borno state Government, Alhaji Usman Jidda Shuwa and members of the state cabinet at the Borno state Government House Council Chambers on Friday afternoon with a strong message on the need for a united front towards making Professor Yemi Osinbajo President in 2023.
