The Kaduna state All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council has unveiled its manifesto, a seven point agenda, tagged SUSTAIN, which is aimed at improving the lives of the citizens, spanning the entire spectrum of security and human capital development.
A statement issued by the Director of Strategic Communication, Malam Ibraheem Musa on Sunday, noted that, “the manifesto is a social contract between our party and the good people of Kaduna state. SUSTAIN will strengthen Safety and Security, Upgrade Infrastructure, Strengthen Institutions, enhance Trade and Investment. The next APC government will Invest in Human Capital and Nurture Citizens Engagement.
“This is what SUSTAIN stands for and the seven point agenda will be the compass of the APC administration. The aspirations of the diverse peoples of Kaduna state have been incorporated into the document which represents a pact with all citizens of different ethnic groups, creed and linings.’’
Musa recalled that the APC Campaign Council had earlier held Town Hall meetings in the three senatorial zones to collate people’s views which were incorporated in the manifesto. ‘’We held a Town Hall meeting in zone 1, Zaria, on December 18th, 2022. A similar event held in Kaduna, to hear the views of the people of zone 2, on December 19th, 2022.
“The event, which was to hold the next day in Kafanchan, was postponed because of bandits’ attacks in Kaura local government, which led to loss of lives and property. Instead of a Town Hall meeting, the Deputy Governor of Kaduna state, Dr Hadiza Balarabe, who is also the running mate of our candidate, Sen. Uba Sani, led a high level delegation to Kagoro and the affected communities, to commiserate with them,’’ he said.
The statement said that the Town Hall meeting for zone 3 was held on January 9th in Kafanchan, after the APC gubernatorial candidate and his running mate, including other top party officials had gone to the palace of Chief of Kagoro to condole with him over the unfortunate attacks.
The Director noted that the unveiling of the manifesto is coming after all requisite engagements with the diverse peoples of Kaduna state and two days before the commencement of campaign rallies on Tuesday.
