Indigenes of Borno State resident in the South West region of Nigeria, known as the Yerwa-Oodua Socio Economic Society, have expressed concern over the choice of governorship candidates representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno State.
In a press statement signed by the chairman of the association, Kachalla Bulama, he said Borno indigenes were worried about the development in the state and demanded that only credible people with integrity be voted for.
He said the association did not have any political affiliations and was not bothered whether the PDP and the APC won the governorship but the interest of the indigenes was on the credibility of the person who would emerge governor.
According to him: “We are not card carrying members of any party, but we want the best candidates to represent the two main parties in the state, that is the APC and the PDP. The reason is so that if any of them wins, Borno State will have a good future.
“However, we are concerned about the candidate of the PDP, Mohammed Imam, who was allegedly imposed on the party by the former governor, Ali Modu Sheriff. We are aware that in the past, both men were not in good terms because of Imam’s attitude and we perceive that his candidature may be a problem for Borno if he is elected.”
