“That Al-Makura has finally declared to run, officially, is a testimony of the widespread support our relentless advocacy across the length and breadth of the country has garnered for our principal. There is now a seeming consensus that he is the man to beat!
“Today, he remains the leading candidate that trumps others, in antecedents, achievement, competence, and capacity. More importantly, we know Al-Makura is the unifier that APC needs at this point to unite the diverse tendencies in the party, and strengthen its progressive ideology whilst sustaining the legacy of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“With the official declaration done, we at the ASO will now go full throttle to further market our principal, launch his manifesto and convince the majority of party members and stakeholders to support his aspiration.
“We are determined to ensure that Al-Makura emerges as the next APC national chairman in a free, fair, and credible contest based on the superiority of our ideas and our ability to build a consensus around our candidate and his manifesto.
“We call on all APC faithful to join us in making the repositioning of the APC, a reality, with the emergence of Senator Tanko Al-Makura as national chairman.”
