The national leader of All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu enjoined Nigerians to see the forthcoming general election as a common sense revolution incumbent on them to effect the changes needed through their Permanent Voters Card (PVC).Tinubu who spoke to reporters Monday evening in Kano shortly after commissioning Kano Corporate Security Institute and a number of other projects executed by Governor Rab’u Musa Kwankwaso’s administration urged Nigerians to come out en masse to vote for credible leaders.
The APC Chieftain enjoin Nigerians to vote for the APC so as to rescue the country from socio-economnic and political quagmire brought about by poor leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
According to Tinubu “my message is that they should see the forthcoming election as a common sense revolution; common sense revolution—to reform, re-change, get relieve, security of lives and property, eliminate corruption, and deception, recovery of the economy.”
He stressed “this is the first nation that is moved from the platoon of economic prosperity. For oil to be selling at the highest price per barrel ever experienced in the world and to plummet to below 50 per cent and taking the country to recession at the same time; and if you cast your mind back to some few years back, various governors of this country and the entire population are being deceived about the excess crude.”
The former Lagos Governor queried “you said you want to save for the rainy day, they say we are saving for sovereign wealth—if there is a save for sovereign wealth and if there is a save for the rainy day—Is it not a Tsunami now to move from exchange rate of 110 to 210, 220.
What is the position of our foreign reserve, where is the savings as regards to the rainy day from the excess crude oil account? Where is the sovereign wealth and how much are they spending to support the Naira every week?
“Why did they have a U-turn and move away from what they called the Dutch auction and the manufacturers that will keep the economy buoyant and going are not being supported because they are having a low foreign exchange to even support the factory and the manufacturing industries? Those are the areas that Nigerians will have to shine their eyes, be determined and create the revolution with their PVC. Please vote for change.”
The influential APC national leader, however, praised Kwankwaso for what he described as unique development being witness in Kano under his administration, noting that he was not only impressed but proud that such experience is coming from an APC Governor.
“What I discovered today during the commissioning is the fact that security and the training is giving priority; and not just an ordinary priority in the area of just human prospects, but organizing a society, building a society to have confidence in themselves and being trained in modern day-to-day challenges of our modern time, which will bring a lot of economic development.
“We all know that without security, there can be no direct foreign investment and economic progress in any society. In a state like Kano state—that is a very large state, with a high population density, vehicular density, industrialization is very very important; and to have to educate and develop the skill of those who are to provide security, intelligence information and be able to cope with those challenges, the far-sightedness of the government—in the long-run, Kano has been lucky.
“ I am extremely not only impressed but I am very proud that we have a vision, a commitment for a vision and sincere value in this government under Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso,” he concluded.
Kwankwaso on his part called on the residents of Kano to use their PVC wisely in the forthcoming general election by voting APC all round.
