Presenting the nomination letter to the governor Afiyo said the decision to support the governor was reached at the forums 27th National Delegates Conference held in Abuja, where twenty eight candidates were shortlisted.
Afiyo noted that the group which was formed in 1994, had been endorsing productive presidential candidates that emerged victorious, including the late Umar Yar’Adua, GoodLuck Jonathan and President Muhammadu Buhari.
The president explained that Bala Mohammed’s courage to move the motion for the Doctrine of Necessity, which favoured former President Goodluck Jonathan in addition to his performance in two years of his stewardship as Bauchi State, had proved his competence for the topmost political seat.
While calling on the governor to honour the endorsement, the coalition also assured on its plan towards mobilizing their over four million members and affiliated organization’s bodies across the 36 states of the actualization of the dream.
