THE presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has promised to eliminate bandits terrorising the north if elected in next year’s election, assuring Nigerians that they would not regret giving him the mandate.
Speaking in Kaduna while addressing thousands of party faithful and residents at the flag-off of the Northwest presidential campaign rally, at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Tinubu promised to prioritise job creation, gainful employment of Nigerian youth and improvement of agricultural production by establishing a marketing board that would give both farmers and consumers standard prices of agricultural produce.
He expressed gratitude to the crowd for turning out for the rally and their loyalty to APC, saying: “We thank God Almighty that brought you people here, we thank you for remaining loyal and faithful to our party, you will never regret it.
“In Shaa Allah, all those trouble makers, all those kidnappers, killers who are troubling the security of Kaduna and northern Nigeria, I assure you, we will eliminate them.”
Tinubu called on the people to vote for all the APC candidates in the election, adding: “May God bless you. God will turn this sunny day to a brighter day and bless you and your children. You will never regret today.”
The APC candidate called on Nigerians to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and vote APC during the elections, noting: “Every one of you should go home with determination, check your PVC, and do not let them deny you your PVC. If you have not collected your PVC, please, in the name of Almighty Allah that gives power, go and collect your PVC.
“Today, the sun is brighter, the sky is clear, we don’t want to talk too much, we want you to go back home in peace, happiness and joy. Our hope is here, we will do everything to make you, the young ones, properly employed.
“We will create jobs, we will establish the marketing board that will give you the right prices, that will give you comfort in your homes and make you a better people. May Allah bless you all, thank you very much, Kaduna.”
National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdulllahi Adamu, said he was overwhelmed by the mass turnout to receive Tinubu, while the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and Governor of Plateau State, Mr. Simon Lalong, said Tinubu dared bandits by traveling on Monday in the night to Birnin-Gwari, an area being terrorised by bandits.
