Tinubu was accompanied to the session held inside the African Hall of Kano Government House were his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, and at least six
Governors at the session included chairman of Progressives Governors’ Forum and Kebbi State governor, Atiku Bagudu, Abdullahi Ganduje , Abubakar Badaru , Bello Matawalle , Babajide Sanwo-olu , former APC interim chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, and some of the party’s National Working Committee members.
In his response, Tinubu said the answers to some of the demands contained in his manifesto unfolded to the whole world on Friday by President Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that he is running to be the president because of his commitment to better the lives of all Nigerians. Governor Ganduje said Kano and Lagos have always maintained a long standing relationship which will be strengthened under Tinubu whom he labelled a Kano man.
“As I said during my speech at the Arewa House on Monday, Nigeria is sitting on a goldmine. There is no state in Nigeria that is lacking in one resource or the other. We are determined to explore and exploit these resources to the maximum benefits of our people. Kano, for example, has huge agricultural potentials and important mineral resources underneath its ground like gold, silver, nickel, tin ore and columbite.
“We will not stop in investing and boosting our agricultural potentials, we will add value throughout the value chain. “We will provide incentives for industrial development nationwide through institutions like the Bank of Industry. There will be a deliberate policy to create industrial hubs and free zones specific to every region. For Kano, we will give attention to agro-allied industries such as textiles, tomato paste, rice processing, animal feeds, etc, in line with the state’s competitive advantages.
The former vice president advised Tinubu to immediately apologise and rescind from such trips and actions. “His determination to revive the economy while making the unity of our nation number one priority sits well among Nigerians.
