Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kebbi State have appealed to aggrieved aspirants in the party’s recently concluded primaries to embrace peace and unity ahead of the general elections.
The appeal was made by the Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency and founder of the Tinubu Kauran Gwandu Movement for Continuity (TKG), Ahmed Umar Faruk, in a statement issued on Monday.
Faruk said unity and peace were necessary for the party’s success in the forthcoming elections, urging aspirants who lost in the primaries to avoid actions capable of causing division within the APC.
“We wish to caution those who did not secure the party’s ticket to desist from comments, actions and attitudes capable of causing division within the party and weakening our collective chances in the general elections,” he said.
He also urged party stakeholders to prioritise unity, stability and the overall interest of the APC above personal ambitions.
According to the statement, loyalty to the party and commitment to victory must remain the shared priority of members at all levels.
Faruk further warned stakeholders against allegedly using social media influencers and supporters to attack fellow APC candidates, describing such actions as divisive and unhealthy for the party.
He stressed the political importance of Kebbi Central Senatorial District, describing it as the political heartbeat of the state due to its voting strength and influence on the state’s political direction.
The group expressed concern over the APC National Assembly ticket for the Birnin Kebbi/Kalgo/Bunza Federal Constituency, warning that losing the seat could negatively affect the party’s chances in future elections, including the re-election efforts of Governor Nasir Idris.
