In Katsina, Tinubu Vows To Fight, Defeat Banditry If Elected

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has vowed to defeat banditry if elected.

He disclosed  this on Monday at the APC presidential campaign rally in Katsina state which was also graced by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking on the recent murder of vigilantes in Bakori LGA of the state by bandits, Tinubu said the APC remains committed to ensuring improved security.

“We will definitely deal with them. They will not go scot-free. Whether they derive some moment of joy or satisfaction, we are saying we are courageous, we are strong, we believe in Allah, and we will defeat them. They are evil. We will eliminate them,” Tinubu was quoted as saying.

While thanking security agencies for their efforts, the APC presidential candidate asked participants not to allow the “poverty development party” to come back to power.

“No to PDP, no to evil, no to killers,” he said.

In his remarks, President Muhammadu Buhari commiserated with the people of Katsina over the attack and urged them to remain courageous and hopeful in order to defeat terror.

Meanwhile, Atiku Bagudu, governor of Kebbi, told attendees at the event that there were debates on whether to postpone the rally.

“We decided to go on because some people are already here and it will be disappointing for them to come without getting to see the president and Asiwaju. But we are here to condole with you. We will be back,” he said.
