A former Borno State governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, on Sunday, stepped down from the race for the national chairmanship of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, the former National Chairman of the party, Sheriff explained that his decision was due to the party’s zoning arrangement and President Muhammadu Buhari’s position, stressing that he can’t work against Buhari.
According to him: “Being someone who respects the rule of law and the leaders of the party, the president has taken a position. I have always told you that I will contest if it is zoned to my zone.
“I respect the president as my leader, and he must have a reason why the national chairman is zoned to the North-central. Therefore I will no longer contest unless the party leadership decides to throw it open between now and Friday.”
