Former Organizing Secretary of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Adamawa state, Comrade Ahmed Lawan, has called on the party to support the candidature of Hon. Abdulrazak Namdas, to enable him fly the party's flag come 2023 governorship election.
Comrade Lawan declared that Namdas is the only candidate that can win the governorship election for the party come 2023.
It could be recalled that Hon. Namdas, a member of the House of Representatives representing Ganye, Jada, Toungo, and Mayo-Belwa declared his interest to contest for the office of the governor in the state.
Comrade Lawan who was among stakeholders who visited Namdas at his Abuja residence recently, said that Namdas is the only candidate who can fly the party's ticket and win election.
Comrade Lawan, who is contesting for APC National Organizing Secretary, said that the visit became imperative following the show of love by the Federal Lawmaker after they had lost out during the just concluded congresses.
According to him, Hon. Namdas was among the first people who called and identified with them after the exercise; hence, the decision to visit him and pledge their unalloyed support towards his success.
"In our capacity as stakeholders of the APC who were former officials of the party and also contested at the last congresses, we have decided to visit Namdas and thank him for his support as well as register our support to his aspiration of becoming the governor of Adamawa state".
"All 18 of us agreed to support his aspiration and ensure that he gets the party's ticket because he is the only candidate that can win the election for us. We have searched and found out that nobody can win the governorship election in the state for our great party if not him due to his pedigree, experience, and track records," Lawan said.
He described him as a grassroots politician who has vast experience in working with people and succeeded in representing his constituency despite having the largest in the country with four local governments.
"Hon. Namdas is one politician that is accepted by almost all the stakeholders of our party and even those outside the party. He has proven his worth by ensuring the delivery of the dividend of democracy to his people. We are proud of what he has been doing and we are confident that he is the best for us," he added.
He further stressed that they had resolved to work for Namdas and ensure that he does not only become the party's flag bearer but win the election and become the next governor of Adamawa state.
"We are going to use our resources and experience to work day and night to promote the candidature of Hon. Namdas because we believe that he is the best for us," he added.
Speaking on the alleged plot by the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari to impose her younger brother, Halilu Modi on the party to be its candidate, Lawan said that the party will stand united and resist such moves.
He stated that a popular candidate which according to him is Namdas will emerge as the party's flag bearer for the 2023 election.
"Politics is not military rule where decisions can be imposed on people. It is a game of numbers and every individual has the right to decide what happens in the party. We will not listen to any of such rumors but focus on selling our candidate who is Namdas"
"I've said in several fora that if we want to win the election, we must go with Namdas, he is our only option now. We will not condone the imposition of candidate; we will fight it with all we have," Lawan said.
