Bello Bala Maru, a former Secretary to the Zamfara State Government, has been named as the running mate for Accord Party’s presidential candidate, Prof. Christopher Imumolen.
The information was released in a press statement on Thursday. The party maintained that they chose Maru after careful consideration and recognition of his powerful political clout in the northern leadership hemisphere.
Accord’s National Chairman, Muhammad Nalado, said from all indications, the party leadership has struck a good South/North synergy in the urgency of now when Nigeria must attain a solid form through inter-region inclusiveness.
He expressed confidence that the party will produce the next president and vice president of Nigeria.
He pointed out that it was with Accord that Nigeria gained independence and produced nationalists, calling on the Nigerian youths to take advantage of Prof. Imumolen who is a youth to achieve the long dreamt dream of a youth president.
While responding, the vice-presidential hopeful expressed appreciation for his selection as the right man for the job.
He noted that this followed a long period of consultation and that he is keen on good governance having hailed from a state and region grossly terrorised and afflicted by insecurity.
Imumolen while hailing the Accord leadership pointed out that the party will win the 2023 presidential election, with the support of youths and all Nigerians.
He welcomed his running mate and described him as a square peg in the proper hole.
