Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari has advised aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to sheath their swords and work for the party’s victory in the upcoming local government poll on April 11.
Masari gave the advice while addressing party faithful at a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House yesterday, ahead of the council poll. He noted that the unity of the APC is non-negotiable.
He said: “Those aggrieved as a result of the recent local government primaries should sheath their swords and work for the APC to win the April 11 local government elections.
“It is better for my enemy in APC to win an election than for someone outside the party to win. So, all aggrieved members should be patient and tolerant. Those who succeeded should be accommodating. It has to be all-inclusive in order for it to succeed.”
He urged the leadership of the party to begin the process of reaching out to aggrieved members of the party and assist the party’s candidates across the 34 local government areas of the state to win the forthcoming council poll.
While addressing reporters shortly after the meeting, the state APC Deputy Chairman Bala Abu Musawa, debunked the claims in some quarters that the party has imposed some candidates in some local government areas.
He said the party will present APC flags to all its flag-bearers on March 30 in the Kankia Local Government Area of the state and commence state-wide rallies ahead of the local government election.
