Immediate past Chairman, Governing Board of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council and former senatorial aspirant, Bashir Sheriff Machina has urged people of Yobe North especially eligible voters to come out en masse and vote for APC in the forthcoming general elections.

Machina said, APC has presented its best as the presidential candidate and urged people of Yobe North to assess Asiwaju Bola Tinubu based on his antecedents and track records of performance.

“Tinubu is a large-hearted philanthropist, a reputable humanist who will drive productivity and growth, he has the capacity to drive the nation in the direction that we want it, I urge you to support his presidential ambition for the betterment of our country,” Machina said.

On the 11th of March, Machina appealed to all his supporters to vote for APC and the governorship ticket of Mai Mala Buni, saying Yobe is steadily progressing under APC.

“We have no fear of the opposition party, because Yobe is already for APC, let us shun violence and cast our votes for our party which by implication is voting for good governance,” Machina concluded.
