Nda-Isaiah eyes presidential post

A presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah, the founder of theLeadershipnewspapers, will formally declare his intention to contest for the party’s ticket on October 28.
According to a statement by his campaign group, Sam4Nigeria, the declaration will take place at the Idris Legbo Kutigi Conference Centre, Minna, Niger State, at 11am.
The Executive Director, Public Affairs of Sam4Nigeria, Ibrahim Tukur, said after over one year of consultations with family and friends, stakeholders, groups, communities and leaders, it is time for Nda-Isaiah to step out.
He said: “Our country has never been in greater need for a change. What came out loud and clear during our consultative tours were people telling us that they were tired of change as a slogan – they needed change as an action word.
“For the first time in the history of Nigeria, our great party, the APC, offers change as an action word, a real possibility. The overwhelming feedback is that we also have an aspirant, Sam, who embodies the hopes and aspirations of the party and country.”
Tukur added: “Nda-Isaiah stands for big ideas about the country’s future. At a time when the nation is divided, he offers a strong unifying message and generational connectedness. He is in touch.”
The statement said the public declaration would offer delegates, members and the public the opportunity to deepen the conversation about the country’s future with Nda-Isaiah and be a part of the train for change.
“It’s time for those who are fed up with 15 wasted years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stand up with Sam and be counted,” Tukur said.
