Buhari in Yola, Canvasses Support for Tinubu, Binani, Other APC Candidates •Tells Adamawa people Tinubu/Shettima can be trusted to deliver •Urges them to make history by electing first female governor •PDP mocks
•Urges them to make history by electing first female governorFour months after launching the presidential campaign of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Jos, the Plateau State capital, President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday returned to the rostrum as he stormed Yola, the Adamawa State capital, to canvass for votes for the party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other candidates of the party ahead of the February and March, 2023 election.
He specifically told the crowd that Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima could be trusted to deliver at all times. “I want you to wholeheartedly embrace the message of ‘Renewed Hope’ on which our candidates and party are campaigning,’’ the president said. He also called on Adamawa voters to shun sentiments, and make history by electing the first female governor in the country in 2023 in the person of Senator Aisha Dahiru Ahmed-Binani, saying her track record of dedication to duty and service would improve the livelihood of citizens.
“I am, therefore, calling on all the men, women and youth of Adamawa State, the northeast and indeed the entire country, to support the candidature of Senator Aisha Binani and ensure her victory in March 2023″. “Your contributions in Adamawa State to our national development can be attested to by your output in agriculture, fishery, livestock, industry, manufacturing, commerce, mining, among others.
“Let me now speak to the youths of our country, and Adamawa State particularly. I want you to know that you mean so much to us. Please, remain loyal and patriotic citizens, learn from your elders and behave responsibly at all times. “Let me remind you and the entire people of Nigeria that the eyes of the world will be on you come February and March, 2023. Therefore, do not give in to temptation and allow yourselves to be manipulated,’’ he added.
Also speaking, Tinubu thanked the president for leading the country with integrity, and setting new standards in development projects. He said he would also eradicate poverty, create employment and enable environment for businesses to thrive. A statement signed by the Spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja yesterday, said it was clear that Buhari avoided the booby trap of identifying with Tinubu when the president declined to speak directly in his favour by commending him for anything during the rally.
