Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), says he will address security challenges affecting states in
the north if he is elected president.
In April 2021, Bello Matawalle,
governor of Zamfara, said there are over 30,000 bandits operating across six
northern states.
Matawalle had listed the states as Zamfara, Katsina, Niger,
Sokoto, Kebbi, and Kaduna.
Speaking on Tuesday at the flag-off of the APC’s north-west
presidential campaign, held at the Ahmadu Bello stadium in Kaduna, the former
Lagos governor also said he would prioritise job creation and boost
agriculture.
He added that he would establish a marketing board that will
give both farmers and consumers standard prices on agricultural produce.
“All those troublemakers, all those kidnappers, killers who
are troubling the security of Kaduna and northern Nigeria, I assure you, we
will eliminate them,” he said.
“Everyone of you should go home with determination. Check
your PVC, and do not let them deny you your PVC. If you have not collected your
PVC, please, in the name of Almighty Allah that gives power, go and collect
your PVC.
“Today, the sun is
brighter, the sky is clear, and we don’t want to talk too much. We want you to
go back home in peace, happiness, and joy.
“Our hope is here. We will do everything to make you the
young ones properly employed. We will create jobs.
“We will establish a marketing board that will give you the
right prices, that will give you comfort in your homes, and make you better
[people].”
