In his speech, the leader of the group, Mr Makpa Malla, said, ” The endorsement was aimed at leaving no citizen of the country in doubt that they were solidly behind Al-Makura to emerge victorious in the forthcoming Extra-ordinary National Convention of the party.

“Senator Tanko Al-Makura is not only a son of Nasarawa, but he is also a nationalist whose legacies and achievements in leadership are worthy of replication on a wider scale. We believe that this step taken today would pave way for the eventual emergence of Al-Makura as National Chairman of our party” he said.

Malla solicits the leadership of the party at the National level and other party leaders across the 36 states in the country to zone the office of the national chairman to the north-central and micro-zone the position to Nasarawa state.

Makpa Malla also added “This step we are taking today is aimed at leaving no one in doubt, anywhere in the country, that Nasarawa state is rock-solid and adamantly poised at standing by her very worthy son through this journey towards the Extra-ordinary National Convention of the party as a National Chairmanship contender.

In his speech, Nasarawa State APC Chairman, Dr John Mamman said “APC should be fair to the Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) and zone its National Chairmanship position to Nasarawa State”.
