The Presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, has promised
to ensure stable power supply and
expand the nation’s economy if
elected as the president on
February 14.
Buhari said this at the Government
Secondary School in Calabar, Cross
River State, while addressing a
mammoth crowd that had come to
receive the APC Presidential
Campaign train on Wednesday in
continuation of his tour of states in
the South-South geo-political zone.
This came just as the Director-
General of Buhari Campaign
Organisation and Governor of
Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi,
urged the electorates in the geo-
political zone to vote out President
Goodluck Jonathan because he did
not deserve re-election.
Buhari said his policies would
discourage people from stealing
when voted into power.
He also said the power sector
would be stabilised in order to
resuscitate dying industries in the
country.
“If you go down memory lane
during the period of regional
governments, the leaders then
used to allocate 43 per cent of the
budget to education and that is
why their names will never be
forgotten. We will try to secure our
country; we will ensure industries
are resuscitated.
“Our industries are dying and will
continue to die unless we get the
issue of power supply correct. We
will resuscitate our industries,” he
added.
Buhari added that he would bring
about the development of the
agricultural sector to reduce
unemployment in the country.
