Tamarauemi Ebimini
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally moved to Damaturu, the Yobe State capital yesterday, with the Presidential Campaign Council Chairman, President Muhammadu Buhari, calling on eligible voters in the state and the North-eastern part of the country to ensure that his party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was elected in the forthcoming general election.
Buhari assured Nigerians that Tinubu would continue to build on his legacy to rebuild Nigeria if elected.
The president said a vote for Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, would guarantee the sustenance of progress made in the security, economy and education sectors of the country.
Buhari, according to a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Femi Adesina, vowed that following the victory against terrorists in the region, the APC-led government was more than ever before energised to defeat whoever threatens the unity of Nigeria.
The president, who addressed the teeming crowd in Hausa language, recalled how Boko Haram inflicted damage on the people, their property and the economy, before their decimation by Nigeria Armed Forces and security agencies.
Emphasising the need for education in countering the despicable ideology of Boko Haram, the President told parents and guardians in Yobe.
‘‘Make sure you send your children to school and make them understand that whatever you have in this world can be taken away from you except the knowledge you have in your head”
Buhari challenged all the APC flagbearers in the forthcoming general elections, to ensure good governance when elected and not to disappoint the electorate.
He declared that the governing party had done its best in the last eight years at the federal level and would continue to ensure the progress, prosperity and stability of Nigeria.
According to Buhari, the former Lagos governor has the capacity to continue the work of rebuilding Nigeria he started over seven years ago.
Also, in a separate statement issued yesterday by his own Media Office, Tinubu said he would use the newly commissioned Yobe Cargo airport to boost agriculture in the state.
He commended Buhari for the airport project and other laudable projects across the country, describing it as wise investments.
