The Coordinator and Collation Officer for the All Progressives Congress presidential primary election in Bauchi State, Ali Pate, has urged winners of the party’s just concluded primaries to reconcile with aggrieved contestants and promote unity within the party.
Pate, who is also the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, made the call on Saturday in Bauchi while announcing the results of the APC presidential primary election in the state.
According to him, politics is centred on participation and competition, noting that while some aspirants emerge victorious, others may not succeed but still have a role to play in strengthening the party.
“Politics is about participation and competition. When you compete, you can win or you may not win. I have contested before — not once, not twice, not three times, four times — and I was not successful in those elections,” he said.
