All Progressives Congress Campaign Council in Kaduna State on Monday
said the exit of former President Olusegun Obasanjo from the Peoples
Democratic Party would boost the fortunes of the opposition party in the
rescheduled March 28 and April 11 elections in the country.
The APC Campaign Council in the state is the campaign outfit for the
former Federal Capital Territory and the state governorship candidate,
Malam Nasir el-Rufai, and the party’s presidential candidate, Maj-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), for the 2015 general elections.
The Chairman of the council, Alhaji Suleiman Hunkuyi, who addressed
newsmen at the El-Rufai Campaign Office in the state capital, noted that
for the ex-president to dump the party he rode on to power for eight
years, should be a source of concern to Nigerians.
He noted that if Obasanjo, a highly respected figure not only in
Nigeria but the world over, should dump his party,”it is a plus for the
APC.”
Hunkuyi added, “Obasanjo is a highly respected figure in the country
and if somebody of his calibre should get of the party that on which he
rode on to power for eight years, then, it should be a source of concern
to all Nigerians.
“He will be highly welcomed to the party. If the party can receive him, its a plus for the APC,” he said.
Meanwhile, the APC council said it would soon embark on a special
campaign for the collection of the Permanent Voter Card in the state
ahead of the rescheduled elections.
Though, the state is among the states to have collected the highest
number of PVC so far, Hunkuyi noted that the council would not rest
until those that were yet to pick up the PVCs do so.
According to the campaign chairman, until every eligible voter in the state reaches 100 per cent collection rate of the cards.
“Kaduna state stands high in terms of the collection of the PVC in
the country but we are not resting on our oars. We will embark on
special campaign for those who are yet to collect their PVC to do so
until we reach 100 per cent collection rate,
