Kano  – The All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, is to flag off its presidential campaign in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, next Monday.

Kano State Campaign Coordinator, Shekarau for Nigeria Project, Alhaji Ahmed Ibrahim Yakasai, told journalists  in Kano yesterday that the choice of Abakaliki was done to honour the party’s  National Chairman, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu.

Yakasai explained that the party intended to cover two states per day in order to cover the entire country before the time runs out as stipulated in the statute book.

He said: “ANPP is the party to beat in April, We have been working underground and we have been able to convince Nigerians that the time is ripe for the needed change, and Malam Ibrahim Shekarau is the best answer to the compounding problems the country has witnessed in the past twelve years.”

Yakasai, who is also Kano State Commissioner for Land and Physical Planning, said already, over 30 political parties had endorsed the candidature of Malam Shekarau, adding that they were still talking with others for support.

He stated that ANPP was currently discussing with Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, for possible alliance.
