Ahead of the 2023 general elections in the country, Ambassador Illiyasu Kirim has assured the All Progressives Congress APC members in Taraba state that the party was set to take over the state after resolving the issues surrounding the party’s Primaries.
Kirim disclosed this in Jalingo after his nomination as the running mate to the governorship candidate of the Party Senator Emmanuel Bwacha.
He said that all the doubts about the authentic candidate of the party are out to rest and urged the party members and all stakeholders to join hands and work for the victory of the party as the people of the state are tired and in need of change.
According to Kirim “I can assure you that the APC is ready to take over Taraba come 2023. Mark my words. Our greatest challenge has been overcome. The issues around the Primaries are out to rest and I have humbly emerged as the running mate to our candidate.
“Now we need to stay focused and Dave the main battle. The PDP has done most of the job for us already. The monumental failure of this administration is a campaign for us. The people are yearning for change. We must set aside our differences and work for the victory of the party.
“Let me use this opportunity to humbly appreciate the leadership of the party, the Bwacha campaign organization and Senator Emmanuel Bwacha for finding me worthy to be his running mate. It is an honour I will not take for granted. I assure you that I will work loyally with our team to ensure victory.
“I call on all those who may still have grievances to kindly sheath their swords and allow peace a chance. We can only deliver good governance if and when we are able to form a government. That should be our priority now”.
Kirim was received in Jalingo by party members after he was nominated as the running mate to senator Bwacha in Abuja earlier in the week.
