APC

A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State, by name Markus Gundiri, has pulled out of the guber race and joined forces with President Muhammadu Buhari’s in-law, Mahmood Ahmed.

Gundiri in a statement Thursday, at the farm house of Babachir Lawal, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, in Hong, Adamawa, disclosed this to newsmen.

The former aspirant promised to join forces with Ahmed to dislodge the incumbent Governor, Jibirilla Bindow.

“About four or five of us from this bloc have consulted extensively on ways to produce a consensus aspirant to slug it out with the incumbent governor.

“My decision to withdraw my aspiration today and to support this dynamic aspirant is a product of the consultations.

“But let me state here clearly that I’m not withdrawing in order to deputise for Modi as some have started sending out rumours; however, we expect that we’ll get some concession, at least the honour to produce the running mate from our group,” Gundiri said.
