We’re supporting Buhari’s candidacy on merit – APDA

Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) has thrown its weight behind the candidacy of President Muhammadu Buhari in his bid to return for second term in the election scheduled to hold on Saturday. The party said its support for the president is on merit.

Speaking to news men in Kano yesterday, state chairman of the party, Alhaji Bashir Hamza Bataiya said the endorsement is coming at a time when  the stewardship of the president was much needed to enable him  pursue his laudable programmes of transforming the nation to a logical conclusion.

 He said it was as a result of the search for a torchbearer that led APDA to the choice of Buhari as presidential candidate on the premise of incorruptibility, integrity and transparency that made him to stand out, adding that no one has ever called him a thief and that he is such a man one could rely on.

He said  as  president, he initiated a home grown feeding programme which was designed to put an end to importation and market monopoly of farm produce that can be grown in Nigeria which is a pilot vehicle to sustainable economic , agricultural, academic and job creation across the nation.

He stated that Nigeria’s economy under his leadership had bounced back after the recession of 2015/2016 and continued to grow as the strongest stabilizing economy   in Africa.  He said at the time he took the reins of power, there were about 58,000 abandoned projects scattered across the country.

He however stated that,  a good number of federal high ways which were abandoned by successive administrations, are now receiving attention with serious construction works going on which include;  the Kano-Maiduguri road, Kano-Kaduna road among others stressing that the Buhari administration has accorded high patronage for the country’s rail network due to movement of raw materials and finished goods.

He further stated that the Bank of Agriculture under his leadership has been strengthened for improved service delivery through consolidation and recapitalization in collaboration with the Bureau of Public Enterprises.
