Kano State governorship candidate of Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA), Mohammad Abacha, has promised to revive moribund industries in the state, if voted into power.
He also pledged to reduce government’s spending, focus on economic reforms and agriculture sector development.
The son of General Sani Abacha, the late head of state declared that substantial portion of his action plans would be achieved in the first 100 days in office.
Abacha, who alleged maladministration in Kano for close to two decades, said that his government would declare free education and free healthcare.
“Number of the unemployed in the state is alarming, while we keep churning out graduates from our tertiary institutions every year.
“Our mission is to make Kano another economic giant. Our state needs a governor who brings investments not who kills investments. It needs a governor who generates wealth for the people, not the one who takes the wealth away. It needs a governor who opens the business gates for Kano markets, not those who want to close the gates. Our state also needs a leader with international connection because Kano was founded on the brilliance of responsible business disciples,” Abacha said.
Meanwhile, over 5,000 former agitators of Bakassi Strike Force (BSF) in Bakassi Council of Cross River State have declared support for the re-election of the state governor, Prof Ben Ayade.
