President Muhammadu Buhari has called on residents of Yobe state to cast their votes for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president.
Buhari made this statement during the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential campaign rally, which took place at the Damaturu Township stadium.
He urged people to vote for Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State, as he believes that Tinubu is capable of continuing the work that he has begun to rebuild Nigeria in the past seven years.
“I accompany Asiwaju here to tell you to vote for him so that he can continue with my legacy of rebuilding Nigeria,” the president said.
Tinubu, while addressing a large number of party supporters in attendance, outlined his plans to use the recently commissioned Yobe Cargo airport to boost agriculture in the state and commended President Buhari for the airport project and other initiatives that have been implemented across the country, which he described as wise investments.
“The cargo airport Mr. President commissioned yesterday will be greatly needed when our agenda for greater production of agricultural and industrial exports begins to take off,” he said. “It is a wise investment made with courage and foresight. It will be needed to transport Yobe’s excellent sesame, hibiscus, and gum Arabic to the rest of the world.”
Tinubu also praised the President and security agencies for their success in the fight against insecurity in the country.
He highlighted that it is a testament to the improved security situation in the North-east that he was able to spend Monday night in Yobe safely.
