In a previous report by Legit.ng, a group operating under the aegis of Concerned Northern APC Youth Forum has insisted on equity and fairness as means of strengthening the party for its acceptability in the 2023 general elections.
Speaking at a press conference attended by a Legit.ng reporter on Tuesday, February 22 in Abuja, chairman of the group, Hon. Suleiman Liba said it was important for the APC to strictly allow internal democracy to minimize those issues that may put the party at risk.
Liba also said that the group is throwing its weight behind the candidature of Umahi for president as it reflects the wishes of the people, especially from the north where we carried out a very successful consultation.
