The Leader of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has said a Federal Government controlled by the party will make the security of life and property of all Nigerians a priority.
Saraki said the Peoples Democratic Party-controlled Federal Government has failed to secure the lives and properties of Nigerians.
Senator Saraki made the observations during campaigns in Ilorin South Local Government Area of the state at Fufu, Tanke, Okaka and Balogun Fulani areas.
The former Governor of Kwara State said the unending violence in parts of the country, especially in the North East, has shown that the PDP lacks the capacity to guarantee the safety of Nigerians and their properties.
“The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari, is a seasoned and tested administrator with huge capacity to protect the welfare of Nigerians.
“In the 1980’s when there was uprising in parts of the country, Gen. Buhari as General Officer commanding in the Nigeria Army immediately brought the situation under control.”
Saraki advised all Nigerians of voting age to collect their Permanent Voter cards in order to be eligible to vote in the forthcoming elections.
Dr. Saraki also urged the electorate to ensure the sanctity of the electoral process by ensuring their votes are counted at the polling centres in their presence in order to avert malpractices.
The Governor of the state, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, said his administration has improved the quality of life of the people through various empowerment programmes and job creation initiatives.
