‘Ribadu is solution to Nigeria’s problems’

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) yesterday stormed the ancient commercial city of Kano.

ACN leaders said they would sweep away the 12 years misrule of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the country.

Former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu told ACN supporters at the Kano Polo Ground, that the Nuhu Ribadu/Fola Adeola ticket is the solution to the nation’s problems.

He said: “This turnout represents the desire of the people of Kano for a change, and we are happy because this is an endorsement of our policies and candidates.”

The ACN national leader promised the people that if voted into power, the party would revive the industrial sector and empower the farmers to guarantee the nation’s quest for food security.

The former governor lashed out at the ruling PDP for inflicting poverty and underdevelopment on Nigerians.

Tinubu said: “PDP is a poverty development party. PDP and ANPP are one and the same, and I want all Nigerians to be wary of these two parties because they have the same antecedents and characteristics.

‘’Nigerians should not repeat the mistakes of the past by voting them to power. What they did in Kano to the deputy governor is a manifestation that they are a party of betrayal.”

He presented the party’s presidential candidate, Malam Nuhu Ribadu and his running mate, Fola Adeola, to the people of Kano.

Tinubu said Ribadu and Adeola would usher in the change that Nigerians desire.

Ribadu and Adeola assured the people that the ACN would wipe their tears by running an open government, if elected next month.

Ribadu said he was impressed with the turnout.

He said: “We thank God, we have seen acceptance in Kano, we have seen that people are talking about change, and that the broom revolution has reached Kano.

‘’We are glad and happy, and we are ready to take this challenge.”

The Kano State ACN governorship candidate, Abdullahi Tijani Mohammed Gwarzo, hailed the crowd for support.

Gwarzo urged the party’s supporters to vote for the ACN.

He said: “God gives power, we were politically humiliated, but God gave us the ticket. We shall sweep ANPP out of Kano, and I urge you to come out to vote for ACN.”

The ACN leaders visited the Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero, who prayed God to give Nigeria a leader that would transform Nigeria.

Other ACN leaders at the rally in Kano are National Chairman Chief Bisi Akande, Director-General of Ribadu/Adeola Campaign Organisation Chief Audu Ogbe, former Minister of Labour Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, the party’s governorship candidate in Katsina State, Alhaji Usaman Bugaje, and former Chairman of the defunct APP, Alhaji Yusuf Ali.
