Govenror Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State has advised those who fail to get tickets of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming primaries of the party not to defect to other parties.
He said their support would be needed to enable the party win the general elections.
The Governor said instead of leaving the party, it will be better for them to rally behind candidates of the party saying only God gives power.
The governor while speaking at the Kaduna APC Emerging Youth Summit 2018 held over the weekend, reminded the aspirants that only one person will win in each of the primaries.
“We have many people aspiring for different positions under APC in the state and among them only one person will emerge or win in the primary. If you lose out from the primary try to support whoever emerges and wait for your time.
“Identify with the person that wins to work together. Don’t start thinking of leaving the party or engage in anti party activities simply because you lose in the primary election,” he said.
The governor said by supporting the party to win, the aspirants are also paving way towards getting appointments in government if the party wins.
El-Rufai said he has no preferred candidate among those aspiring for elective positions saying whoever wins the party’s ticket during the primary election will be supported by the party in the state.
