A political group loyal to the ex chief security officer to the late head of state Sani Abacha known as ‘Hamza Almustapha Media Awareness (HALMA) has urged the retired military man to join the 2023 presidential race.
The group made the call Sunday during a town hall meeting with women, youths groups and other stakeholders on the 2023 presidential election held at AY guest house, Gombe, Gombe state.
Speaking at the occasion, the chairman of the group Muhammad Habib expressed optimism that if Majoy Hamza Almustapha emerges the next president, he could tackle the myriad of security challenges facing the nation.
He opined that Almustapha as a security expert and top government official in the past has wealth of experience and ideas on how to surmount the nation’s problems.
“Major Almustapha is a security expert. When it comes to economy, he was the bone behind PTF. Many people don’t know that he was the bone behind the establishment of PTF.
“And PTF has helped a lot in terms of education, medicine, infrastructure, roads and almost every angle”. He said.
He therefore urged elders and youths across the country to prevail on the former chief security officer to join the presidential race under any political party of his choice.
