The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has urged the 23 presidential aspirants on the platform of the party to voluntarily submit themselves to the outcome of the election.
Addressing the party stakeholders in his welcome address, the APC national chairman said the best among the aspirants does not necessarily have to be the ruling party’s presidential candidate in the next general elections.
He said:” The best doesn’t have to get the prize. Some of us have passed through that stage before. Aspirants must be ready to accept the outcome of the process”.
He appealed to the various tendencies within the party to be willing to bury their differences and make efforts to galvanize support for whoever emerges.
In an apparent reference to the proclamation of the 13 Northern Governors who backed the power shift to the south as canvassed by their colleagues in the South which was eventually discarded, Senator Adamu said it would be wrong for the stakeholders in the APC to be driven by ethnic or primordial sentiment which it could ultimately regret.
Appraising his two months in office, the former Nasarawa State governor said his national working committee has embarked on a serious healing process and further admonished the party leaders to be willing to relate as one united political family.
