“We just concluded a meeting with our gubernatorial candidate, Senator Uba Sani. We all know his capacity, we all know the kind of person he is.
“He is a person that will ensure that everyone is carried along. The outcome of the meeting is that we have come together as a Forum to collapse all our structures into one and support our party’s candidates from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Senator Uba Sani and all others, to ensure that all of them emerge victorious in the forthcoming general elections.
“By this, we are telling the general public that APC in Kaduna State is one and that, all the aspirants have come together to ensure that, all our candidates emerge victorious.
“For those that have issues with their opponents, this Forum has worked to ensure that, all that is resolved. And we are proud to tell you that, members of this Forum are now ready to step down the cases they initiated in courts in the shortest possible time.
“So, we are calling on other aspirants, who are not in attendance or who are yet to join this movement, to please come together and let us fight this battle together for us to achieve success come 2023.
“We have endorsed Distinguished Senator Uba Sani as our gubernatorial candidate as far as APC Kaduna State Aspirants Forum is concerned.
“We are also working tirelessly to ensure that we produce not less than 600,000 votes across the state from this Forum. By God’s grace, before 1 pm on the election day, APC will be costing home to victory,” he said.
