Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), says only his party can restore peace in Niger state.
Atiku spoke on Saturday at the PDP presidential campaign
rally in Minna, the capital of Niger state.
In the past few months, the north-central state has recorded
frequent attacks by bandits who abduct residents and demand ransom; and in some
instances, kill their victims.
Atiku said while the PDP was in power, the state did not witness
a high number of attacks.
“Firstly, we thank
you for gathering here and for the support you have shown to us since we came
to Niger,” Atiku said in Hausa.
“May God bring back peace to Niger, which you know apart
from the PDP no other party can bring back this peace.
“When the PDP was in power from 1999-2015, was there
insecurity in Niger? Therefore, we want to assure you that if you vote back the
PDP into power in Niger, insecurity will become a thing of the past by God’s
grace.
“Also, the
construction of the seaport in Baro was started by the PDP before you said you
wanted change, and you have seen the change.
“What did the change bring to you? Insecurity, suffering,
bad economy. Therefore, we are begging you to vote back PDP to restore security
in Niger state and the country at large.
“People of Niger, I would like to remind you that most of
the schools, hospitals universities, roads, any road you see in Minna and Niger
state was constructed by PDP. Is that not so?
Atiku added that the residents of the state have another
chance to bring real change to the state by voting PDP.
