He wished Tanimu Turaki well in his pursuit saying he endorses his agenda for the country which he outlined in his speech, calling on him not to deviate from the plan.
Meanwhile, the PDP Presidential aspirant, Kabiru Turaki, has berated the ruling All Progressives Congress for fueling the division of Nigeria.
He said there is retrogression in the fight against Boko Haram as the APC government is only spending money in security but no results
He also faulted the APC government for handling the current farmers-herders crises rocking the middlebelt and zamfara with levity
He reiterated the recent position of General Theophilus Danjuma on the compromise by the Nigerian Military which has led many Nigerians to resort to self defence
Kabiru Tanimu also accused the APC of silencing the judiciary by embarking on unreasonable prosecution if judges in the name of fighting corruption saying that act succeeded in gagging the judiciary
He described President Buhari’s resistance to change his security chiefs despite outcry from the members of the public, as an act of irresponsibility
He said PDP is the only party that can restore peace and progress back to the country as the APC has failed in galvanizing the country towards economic growth. END
