The Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo said on Tuesday in Kano that he would address insecurity and poverty if elected.
“I will tackle insecurity to pave way for economic growth and development,’’ he told a news conference.
He also pledged to create jobs to lift youths out of poverty and deprivation.
Adebayo promised to support agriculture in Kano State to ensure food sufficiency and food security.
“We will support farmers, activate dams, provide agricultural input, provide sound and qualitative education and also fight criminality,’’ he said.
The candidate assured that if Nigerians voted for him and his running mate, Malam Yusuf Buhari, they would tackle the country’s economic challenges.
Adebayo paid tribute to Kano’s progressive politician, late Malam Aminu Kano, whom he said he followed ardently.
The presidential candidate said it was disheartening that thriving factories and industries had collapsed in Kano and called on Nigerians to vote for the SDP to avoid remaining in perpetual poverty.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adebayo was accompanied to the news conference by his vice-presidential candidate, the party’s governorship candidate in Kano State, Alhaji Bala Gwagwarwa and other party chieftains. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
