National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, on Sunday urged Nigerians to look out for character of candidates before casting their votes in the 2019 general election.
Oshiomhole gave the advice at a grand rally organised to receive Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defectors to APC at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.
He urged the electorate to vote for candidates with the capacity and character of serving them well. As 2019 election draws nearer, we must look out for character and peoples antecedents before voting them,” he said.
He said Buhari and the security agencies were working hard to end the security challenges facing the country. Oshiomole urged the people of North-West to vote for APC and President Buhari in next year’s election as Buhari has delivered democracy dividends to the zone.
He urged the people not to give their PVCs to anybody but to guard them jealously as it is the only way to return Buhari in 2019. APC deputy National Chairman North West, Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir, said that Buhari had completed projects which the PDP could not complete in 16 years. He said that the president performed well in the last three years.
“The president deserves the applause of the party and we are proud of him. Earlier, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje said that Kano people would give the president and APC all of their votes in 2019 to repay him for all the projects and democracy dividends he cited in the zone.
He also assured that Kano electorate would deliver five million votes to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. Ganduje said the three years of the president in power had witnessed massive growth in the economy and given the fight against corruption a boost.
Some of the defectors received include 11 governorship aspirants from PDP, former House of Representatives and Assembly members from PDP.
