The National Secretary of All Progressives Congress Aspirants Forum (APCAF), Hon Yusuf Sheriff has been asked by the Borno State chapter of the Forum to contest a position in the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party in the forthcoming National Convention slated to hold on 26th February, 2022.
Addressing the press on Friday, the Coordinator of the APC Aspirants Forum, Borno Chapter, Hon Grema Kyari who led a mammoth crowd and party loyalists said, nomination forms for the post of NWC will be purchased to Sheriff by the Forum when the sales of the forms commence by the secretariat of the APC Caretaker Extra -Ordinary Convention Planning Committee on 14th February, as contained in the guidelines of the conventions earlier released by the party.
Kyari, who asked Sheriff to accede to their demand by declaring his intention within the next 24 hours, said, the ‘Call to Service’ on Sheriff as member APC NWC became necessary and apt, considering his contribution towards bettering the lives of members of the Forum,” adding that one of their reasons for supporting Sheriff was because he has secured appointment for several APC youths who have been placed in juicy appointment nationwide.
Although, Kyari did not disclose the position in which, the Forum want Sheriff to vie for at the forthcoming convention of the party, he insisted that, the Forum is waiting for the leadership of the APC to come out with the zoning arrangements before decision is taken.
Kyari, while passing a vote of confidence on Governor Buni’s APC- Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee, promised the Forum’s unalloyed support and loyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari, Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, his predecessor, Senator Kashim Shettima (Borno Central) and the State APC Chairman, Hon Ali Bukar Dalori and his team for their examplery leadership, commitment and sacrifice to see that the lost glory of Borno state affected by the Insurgency is restored.
The Forum however solicited compassionately to the leadership of the ruling party and indeed, the entire stakeholders and party members to drum support for Hon. Sheriff, so as to actualize the dream.
He said: “It is my singular honour on behalf of Borno State ruling All Progressives Congress Aspirants Forum (BOSAPCAF) to call on our distinguished National Secretary of the Forum, Hon Yusuf Sheriff come out and aspire a position for an undisclosed position in NWC of our great party.
“Although, we are yet to disclose the position in which, the Forum want Sheriff to vie for, because, the Forum is waiting for the leadership of the APC come out with the zoning arrangements before decision is taken.
“We therefore want Sheriff to declare his intention within 24 hours contest in the forthcoming National Convention of our great party slated to hold on 26th February, 2022 in Abuja.
“I want to categorically declare that, the nomination forms for the post of NWC will be purchased to Sheriff by the Forum when the sales of the forms commence by the secretariat of the APC Caretaker Extra -Ordinary Convention Planning Committee on 14th February this year, as contained in the guidelines of the conventions earlier released by the party.
“This is because, the ‘Call to Service’ on Sheriff is necessary and apt, considering his contribution towards better the lives of our members, particularly APC youths.
“It is on records that, Sheriff has secured appointment for several APC supporters who have been placed in juicy appointment nationwide.”
