I’ll tackle corruption, insecurity, Buhari vows

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
General Muhammadu Buhari, stormed Kano yesterday,
assuring Nigerians that his administration will tackle
insecurity challenges facing the country.
The former Head of State who was received by a crowd in the
Kano metroopolis, addressed his supporters at the Sani
Abacha Stadium in company of the APC National Chairman,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and the National Leader and former
Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Other chieftains of the party who were present at the rally
include the Kano State governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso,
Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri
Tambuwal, former National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi
Akande, Sokoto State Governor Magatakarda Wamakko, his
Rivers State counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Lawal
Shiabu.
According to Buhari, who used the rally to hand over the
party’s flag to the gubernatorial candidate for Kano, Dr.
Abdullahi Ganduje and the Kano Central senatorial candidate,
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, also said that his administration will
tackle youth unemployment. He pledged to fight corruption if
elected in the February 14 presidential poll.
General Buhari asked the people of Kano to vote for all the
candidates of the party in the general elections, starting from
the candidates of the state House of Assembly, House of
Representatives, Senate and governorship.
He urged the people to come out en masse on February 14,
cautioning that all their show of solidarity to him would
amount to nothing if they do not translate to votes on the
election day. He thanked the crowd of supporters for their
warm reception and the waiting power.
General Buhari and his entourage touched down at the Mallam
Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) at about 1.30 pm
and drove through the streets of the ancient city to the palace
of the Emir, Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II at about 2,30 pm.
However, the courtesy call on the monarch was put off in the
last minute after the General and his team could not leave the
Coaster bus due to crowd at the palace.
