The presidential ambition of former Vice president Atiku Abubakar, Gov.Bala Mohammed and other northern political heavy weights gunning the presidency might suffer a huge setback, as a northern group, Northern Coalition Progressive, has resolved to endorse the presidential ambition of African Development Bank (AFDB) boss, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina.

The group called Northern Coalition Progressive (NCP), has endorsed the president of African Development Bank AFDB Dr. Akinwumi Adesina,as the only presidential candidate of the North.

The leader of the Group  Dr. Godwin Yakubu said, in a press statement issued after the marathon meeting of the 19 northern States executives of the group that they carefully examined all the presidential aspirants in both people's Democratic party (PDP) and All Progressive Congress (APC) but could not get a candidate with the capability to reform the country's battered economy like Akinwumi.

The statement maintained that the choice of Adesina was based on his track records, how he reformed the Agricultural  sector during his tenure  as the minister of agriculture and the giangantic reformations going on at AFDB.

Part of the statement reads, "We are not interested in the region the presidential candidate comes from,we are not interested in his religion, what we are interested in is his ability to revive the economy of Nigeria.

"We look at all the presidential aspirants background and administrative history,we discovered that none of the aspirants has the capability to revive our battered economy.

"We want president Muhammadu Buhari to know that the only lasting legacy he can boast of after leaving office is to support Adesina to takeover from him ".

The northern group noted  that Nigeria cannot be run on region or religion or political parties, because all these formula ha failed Nigerians.

Yakubu said that the Presidency of Adesina will restore the dented mage of Nigeria as the giant of Africa.

The leader of the group pointed out that it will mobilize 30 million votes for Adesina from the North to enable him become the president.
