The Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) in Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states have adopted the candidacy of General Muhammadu Buhari as the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as well as respective governorship candidates of the party in all states.
In a joint statement signed by states chairmen of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara, Abubakar Ainu, Ibrahim Master and Umar Gummi, respectively the party alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the leadership of president Jonathan had failed Nigerians.
“It is clear that the PDP government has totally failed in the areas of security, corruption, youth empowerment and job creation, equitable distribution of oil proceeds as well as the Naira value,” the statement read in parts.
It added that it was necessary for Nigerians to join hands together “to ensure that our hard-earned democracy is not totally destroyed.”
Urging party members and the generality of Nigerians to support the APC, the statement declared that the entire structure of the PDM at all levels would work for the success of the party.
“We the entire members of the PDM from the wards, local governments and states levels in Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara state have unanimously accepted to adopt the candidacy of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari as the presidential candidate and APC gubernatorial candidates in our respective states,” the statement further read.
