President of the Senate, Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan has urged the
people of Yobe State to give APC at least 1.2 million votes in the 2023
elections.
Lawan made the plea at a fund raising ceremony organized by
Yobe State APC Campaign Council in Damaturu.
He said, “Yobe is known to be a guaranteed vote basket for
the APC. We want to compete with every State in this country as far as votes
for the APC is concerned.
“We have the people. We have the will and we have our way by
the grace of God to vote for all our candidates from the top to the bottom”.
The nation’s chief lawmaker argued that the State was on the
trajectory of development, saying Senator Ibrahim Gaidam built some foundations
before the present administration in the State took over.
“Mai Mala Buni has done extremely well and he can do better
when he takes the mantle of the governorship for the second term”, he said.
According to Lawan, the effort to raise funds is simply to
finance logistical support for the elections.
“We are targeting 1.2 million votes for our president and
nothing less than 1.2 million for our governorship and deputy governorship
candidate in the State,” Lawan said.
The Director General, Yobe State APC Campaign Council, Sen.
Mohammed Hassan announced that N2.2 billion was so far realized at the fund
raising ceremony, with the chief launcher, Muhammad Auwal Lawan, as well as
Aliko Dangote, Abdulsamad Rabiu and Dahiru Mangal among other friends of the
State, topping the list of donors.
