Ahead of the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress scheduled for February 26, 2022, a former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, has said he is running for the office of the party chairman and not the presidency. Speaking on Friday during an interactive session with journalists, the former governor said, “Many insinuations are going around; Ali Sheriff is not looking to be (APC) chairman, he is looking to be presidential candidate. Please, I want to put it on record today; I am not looking to be president; I am looking for the National Chairman’s (position) to lead the party to victory. “I want to lead a campaign like what we did in 2014 to make sure that our father and leader (Buhari) hands over power to another APC man as a President. He also faulted reports that he had been dropped from the race, saying it was clear persons going around with such reports were afraid of his candidacy.
