If elected in the upcoming general
elections, the presidential candidate for the People's Redemption Party,
Adul-lafeef Kolawole Abiola, has pledged to connect Kebbi state to the Benin
Republic via railroad to boost economic activity.
During the flag-off of the
governorship campaign and the presentation of party flags to all of the party's
candidates in Kebbi state, Mr. Abiola made the pledge in Birnin Kebbi.
He claimed that the country's
insecurity, weak economy, and inaccessible education are all the result of poor
governance.
To restore insecurity, the PRP will
use local surveillance. In order to win the war against insecurity, community
leaders must be involved in screening newcomers and determining their goals,
which, given the mandate, will resolve the issue.
“The party needs State Assemblies
to dismantle the fraud known as local governments joint accounts because
returning power to the country's local governments will reduce crime and bring
about the necessary grassroots development.
"The physically challenged and
women will receive rapt attention under a PRP government because PRP intends to
develop a policy that will address their needs"
While Abiola criticized the APC-led
government for its failure to implement the rail line project it had promised
Kebbi, he said his party still supports the project because it will boost trade
and create jobs for people in Kebbi state.
Professor Attahiru Jega, the former
boss of INEC, urged Nigerians to vote for credible leaders in 2023 who will
find solutions to the country's many problems. He said that since power has
returned to the electorates, Nigerians should get their Permanent Voters Card
and should not give it to anyone for any reason.
Haruna Hazo, the presidential
running mate, stated that the PRP is the only option for Nigerians who require
good governance, citing insecurity, unemployment, and hunger as sufficient reasons
to vote against the APC.
Abubakar Udu Idris, the PRP candidate running
for governor of Kebbi state, told the people of Kebbi that his first job as
governor will be to bring the state's civil service back to life by hiring productive
people in all positions.
He claimed that, due to the state's
glaring lack of civil service, governance in Kebbi is carried out through
proxies, with a small group of individuals making unilateral decisions against
millions of state residents who should have been involved in governance.
He stated that Bagudu's
government's poor policy was to blame for the low production of agricultural
goods because he had failed to provide farmers with farming aids like
fertilizers, funds, and chemicals. He also promised to revive agriculture.
