The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Kwara's Asa/Ilorin-West Federal Constituency, Alhaji Ibrahim Ajia, claims that his group will help the country out of its economic plight.
Ajia made the claim on Friday in Ilorin, outside the distribution of goods worth millions of Naira intended to empower young people from the Magajin Geri constituency and make them self-sufficient.
He added that the act was a reflection of his dedication to the development and empowerment of young people.
Ajia, a philanthropist and the founder of the Muhammed Ajia Ibrahim (MAI) Foundation, said that the PDP Youth Constituency in the Asa and Ilorin-West Local Government Areas as well as the Magajingari constituencies had previously received the same value of empowerment.
“This is an indication that we have passion and to show that we share the pains Nigerians are going through at this moment.
“We are talking about Naira redesign, it is supposed to be a good policy, of security benefits, but because the government in power have no idea, they have no capacity to manage anything today, it has turned to woe for the entire Nigerians.
“Look at the sufferings, Nigerians are going through, people here today have no one Naira in their pocket, they have money in their account but can not withdraw it. They can’t travel.
“I am urging Nigerians that it is time for us to rescue our country and the only party that can do it is PDP,” he said.
Ajia called for unity in the country, adding that it is not just about complaining but coming out en masse for the upcoming general elections to vote for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of PDP and other PDP flagbearers.
“We must vote for our Central candidate, in the person of Bolaji Abdullahi, and of course all the PDP candidates because that is the only way we can rescue Nigeria,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that some of the items distributed are freezers, sewing machines, pumping machines, generators and cash. (NAN)
