Youths under the aegis of Concerned Northern APC Youth Forum have said they have found worthy successor to President Muhammadu Buhari in the person of Governor David Nweze Umahi of Ebonyi State.
In a communique made available to 9News Nigeria by Hon. Suleiman Liba. Chairman, Concerned Northern APC Youth Forum, the group said
the All Progressive Congress can get it right through internal party democracy.
The youths noted that the All Progressive Congress, must stick to the plan and ensure they get it right through Internal Party Democracy since true democratic tenets entail that a few may have their say but the majority should have their way.
The communique reads in parts,
“May I welcome you all to the occasion of this all-important world press conference, I speak to you firstly, as a very concerned Nigerian who believes we can and should get it right, and secondly as the Chairman of the Concerned Northern APC Youth Forum, who’s mandate is to ensure that we keep track with our dear party and to see to it that the right thing is always done.”
“Our dear party, the All Progressive Congress, must stick to the plan and ensure we get it right through Internal Party Democracy since true democratic tenets entail that a few may have their say but the majority should have their way. “
“We reiterate that the party’s activities especially during the coming convention must reflect the wish of the people.”
“Our body, the Concerned Northern APC Youth Forum just completed our consultation tour of the entire 19 northern states and the people are not expecting anything less from the party hierarchy. “
“We must commend the readiness and resolves of the masses especially within the Northern part of the country to participate massively in the electioneering processes through to 2023.”
“More impressively is the understanding of the people that justice, fairness, and equity must come to play in choosing and electing who becomes the next president of Nigeria.”
“It is very surprising how they have conducted their due diligence and have drawn conclusions that power should shift to the south and the southeast in particular because according to them, in Engr. David Nweze Umahi, they have found a worthy successor to president Muhammadu Buhari come 2023, the man’s antecedents of excellence speaks volume and his achievements in Ebonyi state are there for everyone to see.”
“Based on the above, the Concerned Northern APC Youth Forum further throw her weight behind the candidature of Engr David Nweze Umahi for President, as it reflects the wish of the people especially from the North where we carried out a very successful consultation tour. “
“We urge other bodies across the entire country to join in the support for Dave Umahi as this is the sure way for Nigeria to go.”
“May I also use this platform to encourage all Nigerians to grab the opportunity ongoing to ensure that those within voting age should get registered and have their PVCs ready, for your PVC is the power you carry to ensure that your voice is heard.”
