A youth group, Concerned All Progressives Congress Youths have staged a peaceful protest in Kano against the decision of the eleven governors from the ruling APC to shift power to South.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the procession on Sunday, the group’s Coordinator, Nura Bebeji said that the decision by the governors is a deliberate plan to sideline youths from the north from participating in the presidential primaries.
“Any attempt by the governors to deny Nigerians of their choice will certainly not augur well for the party in the up coming 2023 election.
“We are concerned APC youths in the North. We are out to express our displeasure over what we heard in the media on the unfortunate decision by the the eleven governors to cede leadership to the South.
“These are governors who cannot take back one-third of the region that is under the control of miscreants, terrorists, bandits and kidnappers that include states like Kano, Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kaduna and others.
“They now have the guts to put heads together to support a southern candidate for the APC all because of personal interest.
“For the slot of the Vice President, we the youths of the nation will only accept he who has proven records and will address main issues of concern like unemployment, security and youth marginalization for the party to retain leadership in 2023.
“If the party is interested in fulfilling the desires of a microscopic few over the desires of the majority, they should remember the loyalty they will expect at the polling units” he declared.
