The Niger State All Progressive Congress, (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Hon. Mohammed Umaru Bago and the Senator Representing Niger East Senatorial Zone B Sen. Sani Musa 313 have exonerated their party from the controversial cash swap policy and rather asked Nigerians to blame it on some wicked individuals in the presidency.
The duo made this known today in their separate remarks at party's rally in Garauka ward in Tafa Local Area of the state.
They said the cash swap policy introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) making life unbearable to the citizens was not the decision of APC but that of some wicked individuals who do not want Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu to succeed for the reasons best known to them, adding Almighty Allah would expose the enemies of Nigeria.
Bago, however, pledged to construct dual carriage township roads in Suleja, Tafa and Garauka as he called on his overwhelming supporters to go to every nook and cranny of their communities to canvas for votes for APC from top to bottom.
While, Sen. Sani Musa insisted that for fairness, justice and equity, power must shift to the South, just the way it is being practice in Niger State, rhetorically asking those insisting power to remain in the North how has the power in the region currently helped the Northerners!
He called on the Nigerlites to vote for APC from top to bottom, reminding them that the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Isah Liman Kantigi was one time the commissioner of Ministry of Local Government saddled with the responsibility of construction of ten kilometers road in each local government area but failed to deliver.
The Senator then declared that he would build one township road for the people of Garauka, adding that he has earmarked 50 million to assist the children of the less privilege to register for WAEC, NECO, NABTEB etc and would also provide them with solar streetlights to curb insecurity.
