By Lawan Bukar Maigana
POLITICS DIGEST- Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has said that the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), will rely on the President, its incumbent governors, and top party officials to decide who should emerge as Presidential candidate of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He made the statement on Friday while welcoming members of the Progressive Consolidation Group (PCG) who paid him a courtesy call at the Government House in Maiduguri.
“Declaring interest in the forthcoming presidential primaries and other elections will not deter the APC from reaching a consensus that will strengthen the party’s unity and national development.”

The group had sought the governor’s support for the rumoured aspiration of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
“I am solidly behind initiatives aimed towards enhancing the unity of our party and progress of Nigeria. At this crucial time, no one and nothing will prevent the party from moving in unison.
“We have to identify the right individuals to lead the nation and the task requires governors, party hierarchy, and the President working together in concert.
“Borno state under will promote unity and all efforts to ensure the success of APC; we shall work with the party hierarchy, our leaders at the National Assembly and our party leaders at ward and state levels, to arrive at best solutions for taking the country forward,” Zulum added.
Chairman of the PCG, Dr. Aliyu Rabiu Kurfi, stressed the need for Governor Zulum, other state governors, and party leaders at the ward, state, and federal levels to forge a consensus towards making Professor Yemi Osinbajo Nigeria’s next president.
