Governor Bala Mohammed held a strategic engagement with APM chairmanship candidates, their deputies, councillors and other stakeholders as part of efforts to reposition the party ahead of the forthcoming council elections.
The meeting, held nine days before the poll, provided an opportunity for party leaders and candidates to discuss ways of strengthening coordination and mobilising support across the local government areas.
APM State Chairman, Auwal Isah, urged candidates to publicise the party and engage more actively with voters in their respective communities.
