The president of Nigeria, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd.), has promised that Nigeria will undergo a profound transformation if Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, is elected as the nation’s next leader.
The nation will advance “from what has so far been achieved throughout the country in the previous seven plus years,” he added, ValidViewNetwork reports.
The President also seized the occasion of the visit to attend the concluding ceremony of this year’s Musabaka Qur’anic recitation competition organized in the state, according to a statement signed by Yusuf Idris Gusau, the APC publicity secretary in Zamfara State.
Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, the coordinator of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council in Zamfara State also led him on a tour.
The statement said, “He commended the arrangement put in place by the coordinator saying that the effort jointly put in place by Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle, former governor Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar and Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa accounted for the rousing welcome his delegation received while in the state.
“He assured people of the state that with APC’s Tinubu as the next President, the nation will witness overwhelming transformation, moving ahead from what has so far been achieved throughout the country in the last seven plus years.
“The President thanked the people of Zamfara and all Nigerians for the support he has been enjoying in his leadership and urged Nigerians to continue to support the APC by ensuring its victory at all levels in the coming elections.”
Earlier while welcoming the President and his delegation, Governor Bello Matawalle informed him, “Zamfara is the home base of the APC whereby opposition parties seem non-existent.”
The governor, who serves as the APC’s North West Zonal Coordinator, said that the selection of Senator Marafa as the zone’s state campaign coordinator has strengthened and simplified his duties.
