Atiku Abubakar: I’ll end banditry if elected

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has promised that banditry in Zamfara State will be eliminated under a PDP-led Federal Government.

Atiku, who held a campaign event in Gusau on Monday, pledged to rebuild Bakalori Dam to improve agricultural irrigation in the state. He said that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government is to blame for the recent wave of insecurity across the country. He specifically mentioned Borno and Yobe states as having been hit hard.

“They brought insecurity, poverty, and disunity; our youth are not attending school because teachers are not paid in secondary and tertiary institutions.

“With your vote, you will expunge them. I promise to restore peace and security in nigeria. I have done it in the past (and) I see no reason why with your support and backing, by the grace of God, there won’t be peace in nigeria,” the PDP candidate stated.

He said the state government would assist in revitalising the defunct textile firms and that private investors would be encouraged to reinvest in the industry to create new jobs.

“We will open (closed) borders because it is not in line with the law. Our borders are closed while others are open; there is no justice in this,” he stated.

Why I Withdrew From Ondo Guber Race — Eyitayo Jegede

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state in 2020, Chief Eyitayo Jegede, on Thursday, said he withdrew from the 2024 governorship race to give room for unity and ensure victory for the party in the forthcoming governorship election.

Jegede who noted that disunity has not allowed any candidate from that party to win the governorship race in the state, said he chose to sacrifice his ambition for the development of the party.

This is just as a group within the party, PDP Crusader, hailed the decision of Jegede to step aside in the forthcoming governorship election in the state in order to build a strong and united party that can send the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) packing in the state.

The Coordinator of the PDP Crusader, Hon Mayokun Akinmoladun, said the group was ready to follow and support Jegede in any decision he took on the party’s primary and the November 16 governorship election.

Akinmoladun said the most important thing to the party is to come together and rescue the state, noting that the party was not being run the way it was supposed to be.

He said the party may go into extinction if care is not taken, and commended Jegede for financing the party since it lost the governorship seat some eight years ago.
