Nigeria’s election: Abacha names preferred presidential candidate, gives reasonsBy Mod - 1 hour ago - [ Update ]
A governorship candidate of the Advance Peoples Democratic Alliance in Kano State, Alhaji Mohammed Abacha, on Monday, endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid.
The eldest son of the late Head of State, Gen Sani Abacha, while addressing reporters at his campaign office on Maguwa Road in Kano, promised to help mobilise at least two million votes in the state for Buhari.
On why he endorsed Buhari and not other presidential candidate, Abacha, who was represented by the Chairman of the APDA in Kano, Alhaji Bashir Bataya, said he decided to support the President based on his achievements since he came into power in 2015.
According to him, some of Buhari’s achievements are security and economic stability, capital projects and agriculture development.
Abacha said, “The APDA in its search for a torchbearer for this great nation, has found Buhari as a man of integrity, transparency and he is incorruptible.
“We have noticed tremendous improvement in the area of security in Nigeria, especially in the North-East. Again, the stability in our economy and agriculture is a thing of joy. The home-grown feeding programme has generated millions of job opportunities and improved the consumption of local farm produce. When you consider the nation’s economic situation between 2014 and 2015, with the present situation, you will see that the country has largely improved.
“On capital projects, the Buhari government has completed and is still working on several abandoned projects across the country, especially road projects.â€
