Former Deputy National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Malam Saliu Mustapha on Friday got the nod of a cross-section of Ilorin Emirate indigenes to run for the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming national convention.
“He has what it takes to lead the ruling party,” they submitted on Friday during a special prayers held in support of his ambition.
The Chief Missioner of Ilorin Central Mosque, Yakubu Aliagan, led the brief prayer session shortly before the commencement of the Juma’at service.
Aliagan prayed God to grant the politician’s heart desires as he had made contributions to Ilorin Emirate and toward the maintenance of the central mosque.

Also speaking, Baba Isale of Ilorin, Abdullahi Sadiq, expressed confidence in the ability of Mr Mustapha to deliver, if given the mandate.
He said the community decided to organise the special prayer for Mr Mustapha because of his outstanding philanthropic gestures and immeasurable contributions to the development of Ilorin Emirate.
“Malam Mustapha has all it takes to lead APC at the national level because he is intelligent, humane and above all, he is God-fearing,” Sadiq said.
On his part, Tajudeen Olesin urged the stakeholders to provide a level playing ground for all APC chairmanship aspirants.
Olesin said if this was done, Mustapha stood a better chance to emerge as the national chairman of the party.
”All men of goodwill in the APC should queue behind Mustapha and ensure his emergence as the next national chairman of the party,” he said.
