The Unified Northern Nigeria Youths’ Forum within the All Progressive Congress (APC), has urged youths in Kogi to join in intensifying call on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Dr Godwin Emefiele to contest for Nigeria presidency in 2023 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Convener of the group, Mohammed Danlami, spoke at a news conference on Wednesday in Lokoja, said Dr Emefiele remained the APC’s only chance to winning the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that the northern youth group was on a clarion call because they have realised that the unity of Nigeria is non negotiable, saying from the time immemorial, Nigeria has been ruled by two blocs; the north and the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He decried the divisive ambition of some selfish northern politicians to disrupt the existing presidential zoning arrangement between the north and south, which had engendered the unity of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danlami stressed that Nigeria as a country had passed through many challenges, saying what has been keeping us together as a country was the brotherhood we shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that ‘President Muhammadu Buhari, who is from the north would complete his eight years’ tenure in 2023, and the fair thing to do is to zone presidency to the south and give them total support for the unity of Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
