Ahead of the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress, a frontline chairmanship aspirant, Saliu Mustapha, has purchased the nomination form, thereby becoming the first among other contestants to do so.
The long time ally of President Muhammadu Buhari was ex-Deputy National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change.
The APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee announced the sale nomination of form on Tuesday in a statement by its Director of Organisation, Prof. Al-Mustapha Ussiju.
Represented by the Director General of the Saliu Mustapha Campaign Organisation, Ballah Usman, Mustapha said the convention was a make or mar event in the life of the ruling party and all hands must be on deck to ensure that it was successfully delivered to the admiration of the members of the party.
The form was presented by Sabiu Bello, the Deputy Director of Organization, APC.
Others on the entourage included Malam Ahmed Goringo from Nasarawa State, Sulyman Buhari from Kwara State, Segun Oyewo, Oluseyi Kuye and Dapo Okunbanjo.
It should be noted that the window period for the purchase of form, pegged at N20 million for those contesting the top seat, ends on Friday.
The National Convention is slated for March 26, 2022.
