If elected, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, and Sen. Kashim Shetima, his running mate, are prepared to address Yobe’s infrastructure deficit and erosion.
This was stated by Shetima on Tuesday at the party’s Zone B rally in Potiskum, Yobe.
A Tinibu-led administration, according to him, would use ecological funds to address the issues that had plagued Potiskum in particular and the zone as a whole.
Shettima also pledged to equip women and young people with the resources, information, and skills they need to become independent.
The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, urged APC members to make sure that Gov. Mai Mala Buni received 1.2 million votes in the upcoming governorship election in his remarks.
He noted that President Mohammadu Buhari-led administration had largely defeated Boko haram insurgents and liberated many areas hitherto controlled by the insurgents.
Lawan charged the electorate to vote for APC candidates at all levels for continuity in developmental projects, policies and programmes.
Buni commended members of the party in the zone for presenting a united front at the rally, saying that the development would guarantee the party’s success in the forthcoming elections.
He said each part of the zone was adequately represented in terms of political appointments, stressing that no area was neglected.
The governor listed his achievements in the zone to include the construction of mega schools, modern market, trailer pack and various health centres.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Shettima and Lawan had earlier inaugurated a mega school and a primary healthcare centre in the area.
The events were later followed by the presentation of flags to the party’s flag bearers at all levels. (NAN)
