Atiku Abubakar: I’ll end banditry if elected

The Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has pledged that a PDP-led federal government will put an end to banditry in Zamfara State.

In order to boost agricultural irrigation in the state, Atiku promised to repair Bakalori Dam during a campaign event on Monday in Gusau. He claimed that the recent spike in national insecurity was the fault of the federal government, which is governed by the All Progressives Congress (APC). He singled out Borno and Yobe as having sustained significant damage.

“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.

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, the vice presidential candidate, predicted that the PDP would win more than 80% of the vote in Zamfara State.
