President Muhammadu Buhari has assured voters in Adamawa State that they can trust the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.

President Buhari urged them to vote for Tinubu and Shettima as President and Vice President, and candidates of the APC for Senate, House of Representatives and House of Assembly in the forthcoming general elections. 

The president said: “I am delighted to be here today in Yola, Adamawa State, to be part of the campaign of our candidates for different offices in the country, starting from presidential to gubernatorial, national and state assemblies. 

"It is All Progressives Congress (APC) from top to bottom.

“APC for President! APC for Governor! APC for Senate! APC for House of Representatives! APC for Assembly Members!"

He stressed that the APC has a vision of making Adamawa State more peaceful, progressive and prosperous.

He said: “Your contributions in Adamawa State to our national development can be attested to by your output in agriculture, fishery, livestock, industry, manufacturing, commerce, and mining, among others.

“Your achievements in the areas of education have made us proud and given us immense joy and satisfaction.

"Adamawa people are progressive in nature, and it is time to prove it once again.

“Our vision for Adamawa as a peaceful, progressive and prosperous state is strong and enduring. 

"With your perseverance and determination, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will make Adamawa a model state in all areas of endeavour."

The president also called on the voters to avoid sentiments and make history by voting for the first female governor in Nigeria, Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani of the APC in the forthcoming election.

He noted that her track record of dedication to duty and service will improve the livelihoods of the people in the state.

The President made this known on Monday at the APC Presidential and Gubernatorial Flagoff of campaigns in Adamawa State.

According to the president: “Let me remind you of the good fortune that is awaiting your State in 2023 after returning the APC to power at the federal level and electing the party's candidate as your incoming governor.

“You have been given the opportunity to set a record in the history of Nigeria and the annals of democracy and politics in our country by electing the first-ever female chief executive of a state in Nigeria. 

"You cannot afford that such a significant opportunity would slip through your fingers.

“I am, therefore, calling on all the men, women and youth of Adamawa State, the northeast and indeed the entire country, to support the candidature of Senator Aisha Binani and ensure her victory in March 2023."

As contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the APC National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu called on voters to elect Asiwaju Tinubu for President, and Sen. Binani for Governor of Adamawa State. 

Adamu assured the voters that "both candidates had been tested with responsibilities at various levels of governance, and would work together for the benefit of the people."

Also speaking, APC Presidential Candidate, Tinubu appreciated President Buhari for "leading the country with integrity, and setting new standards in development projects."

According to him: "Nigeria is blessed. We have integrity in President Buhari.

"Whatever damage the Poverty Development Party, PDP, have done, we will replace it with joy, prosperity, happiness and employment for our people.   

"We will get you engaged properly. 

"We will pay attention to your needs.

"Vote Binani for governor of the state, and when we are elected, we will work together to provide good water, education, health and end killings and kidnapping."

The APC governorship candidate, Binani also urged the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, APC stalwart, Nuhu Ribadu and member of the House of Representatives, Abdulrazak Namdas to collaborate with her in clinching victory at the forthcoming elections, promising to lift the state to greater heights.
