''We have out rightly rejected her nomination because she is not a card-carrying member of the party in the state and nobody knows her, while she knows nobody in the state.
''We have also resolved to, respectfully, write to President Muhammadu Buhari to replace her with another more competent person,'' he said
NAN reports that the meeting was also attended by members of the national and state assemblies from the state and other key stakeholders of the party, including Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir, Zonal Vice Chairman, North West.
