As the ruling All progressives Congress (APC) intensifies the search for it’s vice presidential candidate, a group of the party’s stakeholders, the APC Integrity Group has called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Presidential candidate to consider a technocrat for the position.
The Group, in a statement it issued on Sunday in Abuja and signed by the Coordinator, Malam Dawu Mohammed and Secretary Comrade Chinsom Nwakanma, noted that since the 2023 election would be keenly contested and the ruling party would do itself good in presenting candidates that would appeal to the people.
It therefore called on the party chieftains to consider a technocrat like Dr. Ibrahim Bello Dauda, who is a party man but have not held political position except strategizing for the party as a running mate for the Presidential candidate.
According to the statement, “the APC Presidential candidate and running mate must be equipped with the knowledge of global economy to be able to catch the fancy of the Nigeria electorate, especially the youths
“When one listens to the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi he has a message that appeal to the youths and other Nigerians.
“To square up with such a candidate, the APC must consider a running mate whose focus of governance must be that which would be desired by the Nigerians.
“The election of 2023 would be totally different from 2015 and 2019. This would be an election which issue of how to revamp the economy would be on the front burner.”
The APC Integrity Group, therefore expressed confidence that Dr. Dauda can rise to such responsibility
The Integrity Group submitted that another legacy that President Buhari should bequeath to Nigerians is a strong and erudite leatake the country to the next level.
