By Abdulmumin Murtala, Kano
Momentum for the Godswill Akpabio 2023 presidential ambition increased on Sunday after a former governor and a political movement focused on the project brought it to fore at the unveiling of a magazine in Kano.
Former Governor Ramalan Yero of Kaduna State speaking at the launch of a monthly magazine, titled, āThe National Interestā said that anyone who could transform his state infrastructure was the kind needed to lead the country.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the magazine which was presented by The Senator Godswill Akpabio For Common Good organization, in its launch edition, documented the political profile of Senator Godswill Akpabio, from his days as governor of Akwa Ibom state, Senate Minority Leader and Minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
Yero while calling on the youths to engage in politics in order to change the narrative of having godfathers to dictate the politics of the country said that although organisers of the event said that it was not political, he argued that the reviewer of the magazine had called on āāSenator Akpabio to throw his hat into the ring in 2023 because he is eminently qualified to run for the presidency. āā
Yero who described Akpabio as his former colleague and former Chairman of PDP Governorsā Forum, said that he used the resources of Akwa Ibom State to transform the state, adding that Akpabio should join other qualified Nigerians to run for the presidential election in 2023.
āāAny Nigerian, whether from the north, south, east or west, who can transform Nigeria into a United Nation, anyone who respects our diversity, improve the economy and solve the problems of insecurity. Anyone who can make the person of Kano state to feel at home in Akwa Ibom state is welcome to take a shot at the presidency.
āāNigeria needs a capable leader, a leader with integrity, someone who is detribalized and canĀ manage the economy and the resources of the country in a very transparent manner. This is the kind of leader that we want, irrespective of where he comes from,āā he added.
