After a protracted wait by political stakeholders and leadership watchers for who will pair with Professor Christopher Imumolen, as co-standard bearer for Accord, for the 2023 presidency, the party has unveiled Hon. Bello Bala Maru.
The great unveiling which took place at a media studded short ceremony in Abuja recently saw the political party present the former Secretary to the Zamfara state Govt, as the running mate to their presidential candidate, Prof. Christopher Imumolen.
The party presented the North West political influencer after due consultations and realisation of his powerful political clout in the northern leadership hemisphere.
From all indications, the Accord leadership has struck a good South/ North synergy in the urgency of now when Nigeria must attain a solid form through inter region inclusiveness.
Speaking at the occasion, National Chairman of Accord, Mohammed Lawal Nalado expressed confidence that the party will produce the next president and vice president of Nigeria.
He pointed that it was with Accord that Nigeria gained independence and produced nationalists, calling on the Nigerian youths to take advantage of Professor Imumolen who is a youth to achieve the long dreamt dream for a youth president who will also embrace wise counsels of elders and collaborate with his older running mate.
The Vice Presidential hopeful responding, 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 about good governance having hailed from a state and region grossly terrorised and afflicted by insecurity.
Professor Imumolen while hailing the Accord leadership and those in attendance pointed that the Accord will win the 2023 presidential election, seeking the support of youths and all Nigerians.
He welcomed his running mate and described him as a square peg in the proper hole.
