“He has what it takes to govern and to bring lasting peace to Kaduna state. His chances of emerging victorious in the election are bright because the people love and admire him.’’
She further described her father as a man with empathy who relates well with all, including the less privileged.
She assured Kaduna state residents that if elected as governor in 2023, her father would address issues of insecurity in the state by creating employment.

He joined the governorship race earlier this month and promised to build on the foundation laid by Malam Nasir El-Rufai, who has been piloting the affairs of the state since 2015.

Aggrieved party officials say delegates' list circulated contained the names of some APC members that left out of their volition or ceased being members due to circumstances beyond their control, including death.
Some party sources said the planned election of delegates coming up about two weeks might not hold in some states where there are little or no disputes over the list of delegates.
