A youth group under the aegis of APGA Movement for United Nigeria (AMUN) on Monday, launched a presidential campaign bid for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.
Addressing newsmen at a press conference in Abuja, the group’s National Coordinator, Comrade Andy Ekwe said Nigeria was on the brink of collapse and only decisive action in getting a good leadership can save the country now.
Ekwe explained that in consideration of the unity and stability of the country come 2023, the members unanimously endorsed the alliance of the two main opposition parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) to produce the presidential and vice presidential candidates.
He said, ”APGA Movement for United Nigeria after due consultations and deliberations therefore urges the APGA National leadership to ensure it presents Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria as its governorship candidate for the November, 2021 Anambra governorship election. Prof. Soludo at the moment remains the most viable man from the South with the mental sagacity and God given ability to lead/bring APGA to the national table to negotiate the future and destiny of the South and also repair Buhari’s damage to Nigeria.
”A reading of the body language of the PDP in an obvious search for a fitting and credible candidate to field in the forthcoming presidential election leaves one no doubt that the former Vice President to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar remains the only hope and the only person endowed with the requisite political machinery and wizardry, financial capacity, knowledge of the political structure and economy of the nation; a man who has been tested and proven with such impeccable track record of success in his political career and private business life. The PDP stakeholders choice favours Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the man that can steer the wheels of this nation back onto the right tracks without wavering of hands.”
