2015: Group Urges APC To Give Saraki Presidential Ticket

A group, New Generation Nigeria, a youth organization
within the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged
the party to give its presidential ticket to ex-Kwara State
Governor, Senator Bukola Saraki.

According to the group, Saraki is the only candidate that can defeat the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in next year's
general election.

A statement jointly signed by Alhaji Musa Abdulkadir
and Otunba Philip Coker, President and Secretary-
General of the association respectively, said it has
realised that only a good visionary leadership would take
Nigeria to the promised land and that based on Saraki's
track record and experience, he is capable of achieving
that.

"As a youth movement, we are calling on a former
Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki to
run for the Presidency in 2015 under the platform of our
great party, APC. There is need for generational change
and there is no doubt that he is close to the youth.
Saraki is the bridge between the young and old
generation.

"Having been governor for eight years and now a
serving senator, he has both legislative and executive
experience. He is a detribalized Nigerian, nationally
known and acceptable; he is a technocrat and great
professional, academically sound and politically
relevant", the group stated.
