Arewa People’s Democratic Coalition (APDC), a Northern-based group, has embraced the idea of a power shift to the South, focusing on a leader with a clear vision and a track record of performance in public service within the last 10 years.
Part of the group’s decision to support the power shift to the south was to send a strong message to the north that it had failed Nigerians and that the current political tensions sparked by security challenges and power struggles could only be resolved when the highly coveted seat of President was returned to the south.
According to the organization, Nigeria’s current challenges necessitated the appointment of a leader from the south who is also intellectually competent and has the potential to address security, economic, and other issues impeding growth and development.
“The only person who has all the leadership qualities mentioned earlier was the current Cross River State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade,” the organization said in a statement signed by the Coordinator, Comrade Mohammed Bagudu.
They said,” we have held a series of meetings with our friends from the South-west, South-east, and South-South over the preferred candidate from the entire South and resolved to support the candidate that is selfless, detribalized and committed to unity and progress of Nigeria.”
“Our research team worked on three candidates and Cross River State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade emerged the preferred candidate with 70 percent aggregate score above others, hence our decision to give him absolute support to emerge as Nigeria’s President come 2023.”
“One of the projects that scored him high was the fact that he’s the only Governor, who thought of constructing a Super Highway to the entire Eastern region, a feat worthy of commendation.”
“The former Federal lawmaker has demonstrated his passion to work hard and diminish all factors militating against peace and unity of citizens as well as residents of Cross River State .”
“Our Northern brothers in Cross River gave good account and recommendation of how Prof.Ayade provided adequate security for them and employment opportunities across the board without sentiments .”
“We, therefore, urge all Nigerians to rise up and give consideration to a President who is young, vibrant and focused. Most especially a tested leader .”
