FORMER Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has indicated interest to contest for the position of the APC national chairman during the party’s national convention in June.
Sherrif who is a former national chairman of the PDP stated this Wednesday in government house Lafia when he visited the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule to consult him and solicit his support.
Senator Sherrif however explained that he will be going into the race only if the position is zoned to the northeast part of the country, adding that having been a senator, governor for eight years, and a former national chairman of the opposition PDP, he posses all the qualities to effectively manage the affairs of the ruling APC.
Senator Sherrif said, he is fully aware that the Nasarawa State Governor is canvassing support for the APC national chairman to be zoned to North Central and Nasarawa State, and assured him of his support if that happens.
The former Governor who is a foundation member of the APC commended the Nasarawa State Governor for the transformation going on in all the sectors of the state economy, and urge him to maintain the tempo.
Responding, Governor Abdullahi Sule who thanked Senator Ali Modu Sherrif for the visit, equally solicited the support of the former Borno State Governor to ensure that the position of the APC national chairman is zoned to the North Central and Nasarawa State.
