Kashim Shettima as the next President and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and all candidates of the APC in the 2023 general elections.”
According to the statement, the ongoing voter registration exercise was also analysed and participants submitted that “the exercise was moving extremely slow due to the inadequacy of capturing systems which results to the poor outcome recorded by the geographical zone.”
Speaking at the meeting, Lukman assured that all the issues raised during the interaction will be reflected in his report at the end of the tour for proper documentation and action.
Jigawa Governor Alhaji Badaru Abubakar, who was represented by his deputy and the party gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Umar Namadi, appreciated the zonal party officials for visiting the state on a fact-finding mission.
The Deputy Governor enumerated measures taken to strengthen the party in the state which he said included the establishment of a reconciliation committee saddled with the responsibility of reaching out to aggrieved party members for reconciliation.
