Apparently disturbed by the performance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded election in Kaduna state, President Muhammadu Buhari has apologised to Nigerians over the cash crunch caused by Naira redesign policy, and begged the people of Kaduna State to vote for the gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Senator Uba Sani.
The President said that the Naira redesign policy was not meant to cause hardship on Nigerians.
Buhari who spoke in a viral video on Thursday, said the policy was meant to enhance the economy.
He said in Hausa that ” first of all, I want to once again thank you for the confidence you have in me by electing me president on the platform of our party, the APC. I want to use this opportunity to inform you that Uba Sani is our candidate for the governorship election in Kaduna state. I am begging you to vote for him and all APC candidates for the House of Assembly to help him work.”
“Uba is a leading member of this journey. We worked together in the senate and he demonstrated capacity and competence. He will perform better than expected.”
“Kaduna is home to me. Therefore, I urge you to vote for Uba Sani and all our APC candidates for the State Assembly,” he said
Meanwhile, plans have progressed in the state for an alliance between the opposition PDP and the Labour Party to wrestle power in Kaduna State.
Already, the Chairman of PDP in Kaduna State and former minister of aviation, Felix Hassan Hyet has called on the people to unite and chase out the APC government in state by voting for the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Isa Ashiru so as to ” rescue the state.”
