An All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairmanship aspirant, Salihu Mustapha says he will work to ensure a party that promotes equity.
Speaking with journalists on Friday, Mustapha, who was once a deputy national chairman of the Congress for Progressives Change (CPC), said if elected the chairman of the party, he would work towards reconciling factions.
According to him: “I have been endorsed by every well-meaning stakeholder; that is why I am motivated in this race,”
“As a former deputy national chairman of CPC, I led CPC to the merger. So, nobody is older than me in Kwara APC. They all met me in the party.

“I have retained that neutrality and I’m hoping that given the opportunity to be chairman of the party will be my first legal step on reconciling the factions in the party. We need all hands on deck.
“Being a key player in how the merger came about, I decided to step into the arena for the post of APC national chairman because I believe we don’t have the best.
“I have gathered enough experience and enough goodwill. I want to see a party where there is fairness, equity and justice, not a party where there is imposition.”
He added: “I’m not intimidated by titles; I bow to superior argument. It is ideas that rule. I will be looking forward to working with all these fellow aspirants who I believe are major stakeholders,”
