President Muhammadu Buhari and the presidential candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, have asked members of the
party in Adamawa State to give Nigeria its first female governor come March 11.
Both Buhari and Tinubu who were in Yola on Monday for the
combined presidential and state governorship campaign flag-off of the APC said
the people had a chance to vote into office the governorship candidate of the
party, Senator Aishatu Ahmed Binani, the only female governorship candidate of
a major political party for the coming election.
“There has not been a female governor since we started the
system. We are to present one, and she is going to win, God willing,” Buhari
said about Binani.
Speaking in the same vein, Tinubu referred to Binani as the
next Adamawa State governor and Nigeria’s first female governor who will ensure
adequate employment and promote welfare for all.
“Today, you are about to send the first woman governor to
the State House,” he said, charging the APC supporters who thronged the
campaign venue to go ahead and do that when the governorship election comes up
on March 11.
Speaking of his own aspiration, Tinubu said his government
will banish hunger and restore farming if he becomes the next president.
Tinubu asserted that his administration would work hard to
relieve Nigerians of poverty, saying, “Whatever they say in Poverty Development
Party, you know their name, Poverty Development Party, we will replace it with
joy, prosperity, happiness and employment.”
Stressing that his government would be people-focused,
Tinubu added: “All of you, expect that we will engage you properly. We will get
you employed, we will pay attention to your needs.”
