By Ankeli Emmanuel (In Sokoto State)
The 2027 Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr Peter Gregory Obi alongside his running late, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have outlined strategies on how they will tackle fuel subsidy induced hardship in country, corruption, improve quality of lives of the citizens, secure the country, enthrone true democracy and generally revamp the nation's economy.
The NDC Presidential flagbearers spoke on
Monday in Sokoto where they received thousands of defectors from the All Progressive Congress (APC), African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other parties into the NDC.
Addressing party loyalists and all those that defected to the party at the Obi/Kwankwaso Talk Nigeria Sokoto Town hall Meeting, Rabiu Kwankwaso assured them and all Nigerians of equal opportunity in the NDC.
Speaking earlier, Peter Obi assured that their party, the NDC is the only true alternative to having a country that will work for all and sundry. This, according to him, is because the rulling APC has failed Nigerians and cannot deliver good governance that is expected.
Obi, who said they are not going to make fake promises to Nigerians, however assured that the NDC led government, if elected come 2027, will stop people from stealing public funds, adding that removing corruption will automatically bring down subsidy.
While promising that the NDC want to change governance in Nigeria, Peter Obi assure of their preparedness to build a brand new Nigeria where the child of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.
"The NDC Obi/Kwankwaso is the only team committed to changing the country for good. That is the team that is committed to the unity and ensure protection of Nigerians anywhere they are.
"The rating of Nigeria today as the poverty capital of the whole world was created by the government. An NDC government, if voted come 2027, will ensure that railway connects every state capital; will generate additional 10,000 megawatts of electricity within the next 4 years, and run a government that listens to the people. We will spend our holidays in Nigeria and not outside the country", Peter Obi assured.
On his part, the NDC Vice Presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso said they are in Sokoto not only for town hall meeting, but to also condole with the people of the State, Kebbi and Zamfara over the continued insecurity that has caused the death of many, injured many and displaced many others.
Kwankwaso appealed to Nigerians to take action that will bring succor to their lives by voting the NDC come 2027. He further noted that Sokoto have continued to lead in poverty rating of the country because of the actions of greedy politicians, hence the need for the masses to liberate themselves by voting the NDC.
