The Zonal Coordinator of the Group, Sulaiman Mashi, made the declaration at a news conference in Kano on Wednesday.
He said the group decided to support Sen. Musa for Senate president because he was the most qualified person to lead the Senate under the APC.
“We find Senator Sani Musa CON, as the most qualified person to lead the Senate under our great party, the APC, due to the fact that he is competent, trustworthy and reliable.
“Senator Sani Musa is a successful politician and a businessman, he is well and vastly educated, a great administrator and a skillful human resource manager. As a ranking Senator, Sen Sani Musa performance at the 9th assembly is unquestionable and unquantifiable,” Mashi said.
He said Sen. Musa is an active and vibrant senator that contributed to the flow of the senate even sponsoring bills in addition to being a complete gentleman that possesses the diplomatic skills needed of a true democrat.
“These are among the main qualities that are needed in a leader, especially one that will be heading a symbol of democracy, which is the national assembly.
According to the group, the senator is well respected among his colleagues in the Senate and has a good relationship with them.
“We strongly believe with Senator Musa as Senate President, he will deploy his diplomatic and democratic skills to bring about the much-needed synergy and harmony between the Senate and the Executive,” Mashi said.
While describing Senator Musa as a dedicated and hardworking person, Mashi said he (Musa) worked hard and teamed up with other APC stakeholders in Niger state to ensure the victory of the party in the just concluded general election in Niger state.
“In view of the above-mentioned qualities, we are calling on the leadership and stakeholders of our great party, the APC to zone the Senate Presidency to North Central to enable the senator to become the next Senate President in the 10th National Assembly.
“It could be recalled that Senator Musa contested for the national chairmanship of the APC during the 2022 APC national convention that produced the present National working committee. But due to his loyalty and love for our party, he sacrificed his ambition and stepped down for the party to have a single consensus candidate. Such sacrifice and selflessness, only few, special individuals can do, hence the need to applaud, appreciate, and reward him,” Mashi said.
