“Do not allow anybody to provoke you to commit violent acts; there is no need for violence.God has already done it for us and victory is ours;
“By the grace of God, these coming elections would be conducted peacefully; nobody will be allowed to forment trouble in Kano State; God will answer our prayers,” he added.
He also asked the gathering to vote for the APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and His Running Mate, Senator Kashim Shettima,to become the next President and Vice President of Nigeria, respectively, saying that they have the capacity to transform the nation.
The APC Governorship Candidate then urged the people of the area to vote for him and his Running Mate, Hon.Murtala Sule Garo, during the March governorship election, to enable them to continue with the laudable programmes of the Ganduje Administration.
Such programmes,he said, included provision of quality infrastructure, healthcare, economic empowerment of youths and women,as well as sustenance of peace and harmony in the state.
