FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2004   RAMADAN 16, 1425 A.H.           2007 Presidential Race... North agrees on common candidate --Yarima From Farouk AdamU Yakasai, Gusau AS tongs continued to wag, on who will produce Nigeria�s next president, there is strong indication that the northern political class have closed ranks towards producing a common candidate irrespective of his party linen. Dropping this hint at a parley with newsmen in Gusau, the Zamfara state Governor, Alhaji Ahmad Sani, said both the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the north have struck alliance to back a common presidential candidate in 2007. However, what is yet known, is whether any among the army of the present contenders from the region, is among the consensus candidate. Governor Sani explained, that it had become necessary for all of them to put their political differences aside and come together towards producing the next president from the north. "The 2007 presidential election will be a different political arrangement as there is nothing stopping me while I am in ANPP, supporting a candidate of PDP if the northern Nigerian people met and said this is our candidate." He recalled that the ANPP in 1999 formed an alliance with the AD "and was now proposing that of the PDP as a political party should field a northerner, they see no reason why ANPP should field a candidate." Governor sani, however stated that their party (ANPP) was ready to sponsor a presidential candidate from the region if the PDP sponsors Southerner. According to him, the aim of sponsoring a consensus candidate from the north, was to enhance, and revive the northern unity and therefore called on all and sundry to give their total support and cooperation in order to realize the set goal. "It is time for the north come 2007, to produce the number one citizen of the country, as their counterparts (South) produced president who is ruling the country for eight years," we believe that we should support one northern candidate Governor Sani maintained.     SITE TOOLS Print This Page   EMAIL THIS PAGE Friend's Name: Friend's  Email: Your Name: Your Email:           � Triumph Publishing Company Limited 2004
