Accord Party has announced a former Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, Bello Bala Maru, as the running mate to Accord’s presidential candidate, Prof. Christopher Imumolen.
This was contained in a press statement on Thursday where the party maintained that they arrived at the choice of Maru after due consultations and realisation of his powerful political clout in the northern leadership hemisphere.
Accord Party’s National Chairman, Muhammad Nalado, said from all indications, the party leadership had struck a good South/North synergy in the urgency of now when Nigeria must attain a solid form through inter-regional inclusiveness.
He expressed confidence that the party would produce the country’s next president and vice president.
He pointed out that it was with Accord that Nigeria gained independence and produced nationalists, calling on the Nigerian youths to take advantage of Imumolen, who is a youth, to achieve the long-dreamt dream of a youth president in the country.
While responding, the vice-presidential hopeful expressed appreciation for his selection as the right man for the job.
He noted that this followed a long period of consultation and that he was keen on good governance coming from a state and region grossly terrorised and afflicted by insecurity.
Imumolen, while hailing the party’s leadership, pointed out that it would win the 2023 presidential election, with the support of youths and all Nigerians.
He welcomed his running mate and described him as a square peg in the square hole.
