I am optimistic to win Madina seat in 2020 - Sidii Abubakar

A former National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sidii Abubakar Musah, has expressed confidence to win the Madina parliamentary seat from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) come 2020.

According to him, Madina constituency had always been represented in parliament by NDC until in 2016, when the NPP used “divisionary tactics,” to confuse the constituents to win the seat”.

“I am, therefore, optimistic to win the seat on NDC’s ticket come 2020, after winning the party’s primary in August, Insha Allah”, he stated.

Courtesy call

Mr Sidii said this when he paid a courtesy call on old the Madina Chief, Alhaji Baba Seidu, at his palace on Wednesday, July 17, seek his blessings after he had filed his nomination to contest the NDC parliamentary primary on August 24, 2019.

“I am here at your palace to officially present my nomination forms for the upcoming NDC primaries in the constituency. I am confident of winning the primaries and wrestling power from the clueless New Patriotic Party (NPP) come 2020”, he explained.

A unifier

The constituency, Mr Sidii said, needed a unifier who can bring everyone on board to campaign on issues, convincing everyone to vote for the NDC.

On his part, the chief commended him for the interest to lead Madina, and urged him to campaign on issues devoid of insults because it is an internal contest.

The Chief Imam of Madina, Sheikh Abdallah prayed for him and his team for Allah’s protection and guidance in the cause of the campaign.
