Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has pledged to end the insecurity bedeviling Kaduna State and other parts of the country, if elected as president.
Tinubu made the pledge at the Northwest presidential rally and inauguration of campaign of gubernatorial and National Assembly candidates of the party, on Tuesday in Kaduna.
“All those trouble makers, kidnappers, killers who are terrorising security of Kaduna, I assure you we will eliminate them,” he said
He commended the leadership of Governor Nasir el-Rufai and his initiatives that helped to transform the state, including boosting its Internally Generated Revenue.
He also promised to prioritize job creation to provide gainful employment to Nigerian youths.
Speaking further, the former Lagos State Governor also pledged to accord priority to agriculture to boost food production, adding that he will establish a marketing board to give farmers and consumers standard prices of agricultural products.
The APC presidential candidate described the choice of Sen. Uba Sani as the party’s governorship candidate was good for the future of the state, and urged the electorate to vote for him, urging the people of Kaduna state to elect all APC candidates for the betterment of the country.
Tinubu urged all those who are yet to collect their Permanent Voters Card, PVCs, to do so, in order not to disenfranchise themselves.
“Everyone of you should go home with determination, check your PVC, 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,” he added.
In his welcome address, Gov. Nasir el-Rufai thanked the citizens of the state for coming out en masse to demonstrate support for the APC.
Speaking shortly after accepting the party’s flag, the gubernatorial candidate expressed satisfaction with the turn out of APC supporters, describing it as a sign of success for the party during the forthcoming elections.
