Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has
described last Monday's commencement of the presidential campaign of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto, as a gathering of gang of 'thieves' who
rented crowd from Niger Republic.
He also said the 2019 general election is a poll between
thieves and trust worthy people.
Speaking on Tuesday in Kaduna at the inauguration of campaign
council of the All Progressives Congress
(APC ) in the state at the Murtala Mohammed Square, the governor said the PDP
has nothing to offer Nigeria, adding that the party’s ideology is nothing but
looting.
El-Rufai said what the All Progressives Congress (APC) has
been doing for the past three year is to fix the rot left behind by the 16
years of PDP misrule.
He said there are a lot to do to reset the country
on the path of stability and posterity, adding that PDP must not be allowed to
return to power in 2019.
"The 2019 general election is a poll between
trustworthy people and thieves; between patriotic leaders and those who went to
Abuja to loot our treasury.
“So we have to stand up and show them that Kaduna
is not a state that will allow them cheat the people and the masses.
“What we have done in Kaduna State in the last three
years has shown that APC as a party is the one that loves the masses and
assists them, not a party that will take public fund and share among the rich.
“That is why we want you to go out and tell the people to vote
for President Muhammadu Buhari again,” El-Rufai said.
According to him, “Thieves have ganged-up against President Buhari.
“Yesterday (Monday) they were in Sokoto, and they rented crowd from Niger
Republic just to show people that they have supporters because Sokoto people
refused to come out.
“So, when it is time to launch President Buhari's
campaign in Kaduna, you should come out for the world to see that it is not people
from Niger Republic disguising as Nigerians.”
Speaking further, the governor emphasised that “we must show
that we are in support of President Buhari, and when is time to cast our votes,
we should vote for the president and all the APC candidates.”
He said his administration anchored its agenda on
putting the people first, adding: “The APC in the state has since May 2015
focused on running an equal opportunity government.
“We have tried to empower our people by anchoring
our programmes on putting people first.
“We are making life better and reordering the
priority of government to focus on human capital development. At the centre of
this is education and health.”
