Your support for our development priorities and the opportunities that cooperation between our government creates for those we serve To our First Lady, We offer heartfelt appreciation for bringing compassion. and attention to the needs of women, children, and vulnerable families. Leadership acquires the deepest meaning when people feel seen, heard and supported. In the past three and a half years, Your Excellency Mr. President and your esteemed wife, Our First Lady has shown Kaduna and indeed the North genuine love. We are truly, across Kaduna State and indeed the north of Nigeria, Mr. President, decisive intervention in transportation, education, health care, agriculture, security, and human capital development have brought revival and truly renewed the hope of our people. Under your Renewed Hope Agenda, massive developmental interventions have been completed by the federal government in Kaduna State and the North. Several orders remain under construction who are passing through approval, funding, and implementation. Each bears the obligation to deliver lasting public value. That is why today we are affirming our resolve as a people. to massively come out in January 2027 to vote for continuity. We are voting for a promise keeper to continue with the good work he has done. is already being carried out in Kaduna State and throughout the North in general. Mr. President, permit me to speak on a few areas that I believe are the reason why today you have experienced the kind of love you've seen today from the airport to this very important stadium. Mr. President, please recall precisely on December 22, 2022, You came to Kaduna to campaign as a candidate of a great party. You dare to go to Bindongwari Local Government. At that time, Bindongwari Local Government was an epicenter of insecurity throughout the entire Northwest. The then GOC Wazakanaz Division, General Labaja, for blessed memory, advised you against going to Bindongwari due to security concerns. At that moment, you instantly rejected the advice. and traveled to Bindongwari from Kaduna. It was a journey that took us four hours from Kaduna to Bindongwari. And we went to Bindongwari with 27 armored vehicles. Accompanying you, Mr. President, along with our Vice President and other members of our party Mr. President, today I can assure you of the two promises we made. I'm happy to say that you have fulfilled the promises. Number one, we promised that we are going to reconstruct the Kaduna to Bindongwari road 123 km that was abandoned for over 40 years. As we are speaking, Mr. President, 178 billion naira have been released to the contractor. and the project is ongoing. The people of Bindongwari and Kaduna State I will always be grateful to you for this intervention. Once more, Mr. President, You assured us that you would address the issue of insecurity. along the corridor of Bindongwari. Today, you can travel to Bindongwari. With their eyes closed, without a single police escort, Mr. President That is progress, Mr. President Again, when we came in in 2023, Mr. President In Kordofan alone, we have eight local governments. Those were frontline local governments. Over 300 schools were closed due to insecurity. More than 150 primary healthcare centers were closed. Today, I am happy to inform you All the schools and primary health care centers They are reopened, Mr. President. Once again, Mr. President, I would also like to draw your attention, Mr. President, regarding two of the major promises you made. You promised you would reconstruct Zaria, Soba, and Pambegwa. Our speaker, Tajuddin Abbas, has been demanding that road since 2011. This time around, Mr. President, the contractors have been mobilized. As we speak, various subsidized projects are underway. We thank you, Mr. President, for this very important intervention. Mr. President, I want to speak on behalf of the people of Kaduna once again. to thank you for choosing Kaduna State to be the pilot state for the Metropolitan Red Line Project in Nigeria. Mr. President, $865 million have been approved as we speak. and the contractor Motor India informed me last week that it has Has been mobilized with $300 million for the Kaduna Metropolitan Red Line which is approximately a 50 km corridor, Mr. President. We remain grateful to Mr. President. Mr. President, once again, I also want to thank you for your intervention in Nepal and Tibet. because the North West of Nigeria has benefited from the scorecard. Today, Mr. President, the Northwest alone benefited to the tune of Of the 84 billion Naira of the NIP fund, supporting approximately 414,000 students From the North West of Nigeria, Mr. President. We want to thank you because most of the students who have received this Interventions are for children of the poor, underprivileged, and underserved. We have given them the future, we have given them life. And we believe education is the greatest equalizer. You can give hope to anyone to have a future, Mr. President. I also want to thank you for your intervention in Tibet. Tibet for us, Mr. President, It is the most important program of our government. Because in the north, there are many people who are looking to improve their own livelihood through skills development. As we are speaking, 34,000 people from the northwest have benefited from your support for Tibet. And all these 34,000 are trained artisans, so you support them with maintenance and also allowance for their institutional payments. Mr. President, I also want to thank you. When I visited you exactly two years ago, I drew your attention, Mr. President, regarding the fact that the Kaduna-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano road, I told you, Mr. President, it was the most important road in the entire country. of Nigeria, and you agreed with me, Mr. President, at that time. And you also assured us that you are going to pay the 740 billion Naira. for the reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna Express Road. Mr. President, as we speak, 95% of that road has been completed. We would like to thank you, Mr. President, because the Abuja-Kaduna Express Road connects 12 states, Northwest, North Central, and Northeast, Mr. President as well as connecting northern Nigeria to the southern part of Nigeria. We remain grateful to you because there were two reasons why The previous government abandoned the Abuja-Kaduna Road. The reasons were two. Number one, insecurity. Number two, funding. Today I am happy to say, Mr. President, looking at the people here, More than 90% of them who have passed through Abuja as is, arrive by road. No one experienced a single incident of kidnapping. That is progress, Mr. President. When someone came to us and said we should vote for him simply because he is a northerner We asked him, "Can you show us our track record?" Until this moment, the so-called Northern candidate His track record was what stood out, Mr. President. No track record And we keep asking And I dare say that even the Vice President sitting there I was talking to him at the airport. And I told him, history will remember him. And we'll be kind to him That as Vice President, under you, over 1,000 kilometers of roads have already has been constructed in the northeastern part of Nigeria. And once again, we asked the northern candidate, Can you show us 200 kilometers of roads that he himself was able to build? He did the least to help the people of the northeast when he was Vice President. Up to this moment, we have not seen one. Mr. President, we would like to thank you. because I've been reminded of our time. But Mr. President, we have a lot to say. I also want to thank you, Mr. President, for your support. for our own state, that is Kaduna State, in the field of agriculture. Because of what you have done for us, not only Kaduna, but the entire northern Nigeria knowing full well that agriculture is the backbone of the economy. Today, I am speaking on behalf of all the governors present here, especially those from northern Nigeria. No leader in the history of Nigeria has supported sub-nationalism. in the agricultural transformation you have carried out, Mr. President And that is on record We are speaking based on statistics and data, Mr. President. And no leader in the history of Nigeria has supported sub-national As you have done, Mr. President At this juncture, I would like to thank you, Mr. President. And I want to assure you that the people the people of northern Nigeria will repay you with their own votes You still loved Mr. President coming from the airport to the stadium. Some people will come out on January 16th to vote for you. The opposition has now upgraded their campaign from Facebook. and Twitter to AI. So I want to draw the attention of our supporters To be very watchful, to be vigilant. The opposition is only campaigning using AI; there is no real campaign at all. I want to thank you, and I want to thank Mr. President. and every other person who finds time to be in Kano today to attend This is a very important breakthrough. Thank you, and may God bless you all.
