By Godson Ikpontu

A renowned political organisation in the ruling All Progressive Congress has requested for a free and fair playing ground for Aspirants ahead of the forthcoming National Convention holding few days away on the 26th of February 2022. The request was made few hours ago on Friday 18th February during a media chat with the National Leader of APC National Stakeholders Supporters Forum(APC-NSSF), Hon. Yusuf Ardo.

While speaking with Newsmen in Abuja on Friday morning, the APC-NSSF Leader condemned the imposition of Candidates in the party, he says, "the imposition of Candidates usually causes very serious crises in the party". He further stated that it will create an avenue for the party to review Aspirant's influence and capacity.

He therefore made reference to previous imposed Leaderships in the party, while citing instances with the Oshomole crisis, thereby emphasizing on how it backslided growth in the party. Although, the APC-National Stakeholders Supporters Forum has been on the frontline in the campaign for good governance and impactful leadership across the country, so as to maintain a remarkable integrity for the party.

Few hours ago, the group was received by an Aspirant Contesting for the National Chairman of the Party. During the visit to HE, Sen. Tanko Almakura, the group maintained that their support will be thrown behind the Aspirant with the best manifesto and visionary mandate for the party.

They however encouraged the monumental leadership of Sen. Tanko Almakura, with assurance of the Forum's support towards the growth and development of APC. The APC-National Stakeholders Supporters Forum is currently meeting with all Aspirants contesting for the office of the national chairman of the party in efforts to ensure that the leadership for the party is been achieved.
