As agitation for another northern consensus president aside Alhaji Atiku Abubakar continues to hot up in the country, National Association of Arewa Citizens Action for Change, ACAC, has disclosed its intention to choose another consensus candidate for northern Nigeria irrespective of party affiliation.

Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the group, Muslim Maigari, who disclosed their plan at the end of a meeting between the national executives, state executives and local government coordinators of the association in Bauchi, yesterday, said: ”We have observed that the presidency is for the north and the Ciroma-led committee had completed their assignment.

“However, what they did was entirely a PDP affair and the North needs to present a candidate that will be acceptable to all irrespective of party affiliation; that candidate should be produced and supported by all because of his sterling qualities.

“Our group now intends to form a committee of 40 well respected people, two from each state in the north, to sit down and bring the candidate that will be acceptable to all.

“Though we have nothing against Atiku, we want to go beyond PDP to choose the best candidate with good qualities that will be acceptable to all.”

He advised former President Ibrahim Babangida, Governor Bukola Saraki and Retired General Aliyu Gusau to contest PDP Primary election as stand by in case if Atiku didn’t make it, adding that, one of them will definitely be the runner up to become second, which will result to a northerner having the chance to led the country again.

Muslim who mentioned that they have been going round the northern states to meets with states executives, added that so far,they have visited Borno, Yobe , Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe , Niger , Bauchi and Abuja the Federal Capital over the matter.
