By Abdulmumin Murtala, Kano

A group called the Concerned APC Youths have staged a peaceful procession in Kano protesting against the decision of the eleven governors from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to cede power to Southern Nigeria.

Addressing newsmen at the protest in on Sunday, the group’s Coordinator, Nura Bebeji said that the decision by the governors is a deliberate plan to sideline youthful leaders from the north like Yahaya Bello, the Kogi state governor, from participating in the presidential contest.These are governors who cannot take back one-third of the region that is under the control of miscreants, terrorists, bandits and kidnappers that include states like Kano, Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kaduna and others.

“They now have the guts to put heads together to support a southern candidate for the APC all because of personal interest.For the slot of the Vice President, we the youths of the nation will only accept he who has proven records and will address main issues of concern like unemployment, security and youth marginalization for the party to retain leadership in 2023.

“If the party is interested in fulfilling the desires of a microscopic few over the desires of the majority, they should remember the loyalty they will expect at the polling units” he declared.
