Kebbi governorship candidate of Accord Party in 2027 General Election, Alhaji Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Bunza, has promised to apply Islamic injunction to end banditry and kidnapping in Kebbi State if elected.
Alhaji Bunza who invoked some passages from the Holy Qur’an stated that these verses from the Holy book if invoked with honesty is enough to put an end to all sorts of banditry and kidnapping across the State
The Accord governorship candidate disclosed this on Saturday at the Candidate Engagement Forum organized by the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Kebbi State Council.
He also promised to pay N500,000 minimum wage to the State workers at the end of every month if voted into power, noting that Civil servants in the State are subjected to trauma and untold hardship due to unpopular government policies, adding that such policies were gradually driving workers into hopelessness.
‘Let me categorically make my point clear: if I am elected Governor of Kebbi, I will ensure that the least paid worker goes home with N500,000, monthly payment.’
‘This is with a view to improving workers’ welfare because they are the engine room of every nation’s development; therefore, they must be treated with dignity.’
‘Nigeria has the money to pay workers a living wage, not a minimum wage. In Nigeria today, a worker is just a slave to those in positions of authority. I want to change the narrative if elected.’ He assured.
He assured further that he was not contesting for personal gains but, ‘I am contesting to liberate Kebbi and the people of Kebbi.’
On agriculture, he said, ‘If I am elected, I will ensure that agriculture is truly transformed because I am a farmer; I know the in-and-out of farming.
‘My mission is to make Kebbi an agricultural hub of this nation. In Nigeria, our government doesn’t think out of the box; however, my approach will be different from what is obtainable.
‘I will ensure I give free fertilisers, chemicals and other farming inputs to individual smallholder farmers and large-scale farmers to encourage them to produce more food.
‘I will focus on mechanised farming; I will procure tractors and other machines to support my ambition.’
He also said the health sector would be given adequate consideration to completely prevent people from going abroad for medical tourism.
‘All our hospitals will be transformed and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to provide effective and efficient services to every citizen irrespective of status.
‘Apart from that, I will ensure that enough medicine is supplied to every hospital in both urban and rural areas and it will be given to patients free. I want a situation where no patient will complain.’
The candidate, therefore, appealed to the electorate across Kebbi to vote wisely by casting their votes for the Accord Party.
