Former Nasarawa State Governor and senator representing Nasarawa central, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, has declared his interest to contest for the office of the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He declared his intention on Monday at a campaign rally ahead of the party’s LGA congresses in the state.
Should the party zone the national chairmanship to the North, Al-Makura will be up against Ali Modu Sheriff, former governor of Borno State, and Abdulaziz Yari, former governor of Zamfara State.
Al-Makura, an associate of Bola Tinubu, national leader of the APC, told his audience that he was presenting himself for the position to foster unity in the APC.
The ruling party has not officially announced a zoning arrangement but there has been talks of a power shift to the South after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari ends in 2023.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors have already zoned the office of the national chairman to the North.
