A group under the aegis of Magaji Ngeri APC Frontiers, MNAF, has urged the leadership of the party to concede the state assembly ticket to Barr. Magaji Oba Abdulkadir, stating his intimidating credentials and honour to the deceased family as the reason for their support.
This much was disclosed via a statement signed by the Chairman of the group, Comrade Ibrahim Zubair Bature on Friday and made available to journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.
He said, “With the intimidating credentials of the 54 years old Magaji Oba Abdulkadir, a legal juggernaut with almost 23 years in the bar, who’s also a Notary Public of the Supreme Court, with a membership of several National, Sub-region and International professional bodies, he’s no doubt the best to represent our constituency in the 10th Assembly.
“We, therefore, appeal to the leader of the party, our performing governor, to please come to the aid of the Magaji family and Magaji Ngeri constituency towards ensuring that we repay the steadfastness and undiluted loyalty of our deceased leader by allowing his brother to complete his mandate.
“We also beseech the membership of the 9th Assembly under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Yakubu Salihu Danladi, to rise and come to the aid of their deceased colleague. We daresay t that this is the best last respect they can give to his memory.
“In the same vein, we urge our party delegates, leaders, stakeholders, and indeed all members of the APC (Magaji Ngeri) to stand up and be counted by ensuring we return Barr. Mogaji Oba Abdulkadir as the candidate, who will Insha Allah not only lead us to victory but will also continue from where his brother has stopped,” Bature stressed.
