Kebbi APC Leaders Call on Disappointed Candidates to Embrace Peace

All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Kebbi State have called on those disappointed by the party’s recent primaries to pursue peace and unity as the general elections approach.

The appeal came from Ahmed Umar Faruk, Managing Director of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency and founder of the Tinubu Kauran Gwandu Movement for Continuity (TKG). He issued the statement on Monday.

Faruk stressed that unity and peace are essential for the APC’s success in the upcoming elections. He urged aspirants who were not selected to refrain from actions that could divide the party.

“We wish to caution those who did not secure the party’s ticket to desist from comments, actions and attitudes capable of causing division within the party and weakening our collective chances in the general elections,” he said.

He also urged party members to place unity, stability and the APC’s collective interests above personal ambitions. The statement emphasized that loyalty to the party and a shared commitment to victory should remain the top priority for all members.

Faruk warned against the alleged use of social media influencers and supporters to attack fellow APC candidates, labeling such tactics as divisive and detrimental to the party.

He highlighted the political significance of Kebbi Central Senatorial District, describing it as the state’s political heartbeat because of its voting strength and influence on the state’s political direction.

The group also expressed concern over the APC National Assembly ticket for the Birnin Kebbi/Kalgo/Bunza Federal Constituency, noting that losing the seat could harm the party’s prospects in future elections, including Governor Nasir Idris’s re‑election campaign.
