“In the past, the APC were saying that it is APC from top to bottom, but, now it is PDP from Top to bottom,” he said.
“If I am elected as president, I ensure that I empower women and youths in the nation by giving them soft loans that they can startup business to become independent” he assured.
He then assured residents of Bauchi state that if elected as President of the country he will exploit crude oil discovered in the Kolmani river located in Bauchi and Gombe state through the establishment of pipelines that will transport crude oil to every part of the country.

The Governor expressed hope that all the party’s candidates will emerge victorious in the forthcoming General Elections starting with the presidential and national assembly on February 25th.
