APC gubernatorial flag bearer Aishatu Binani has called on Adamawa electorate to vote for Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate in February 26 election instead of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Ms Binani made the call in Yola on Monday during the grand finale of her campaign. She appealed to the locals to vote for all APC candidates, urging them to set aside religious, sectional, tribal and political considerations.

“We in the APC demand not only your votes but your unflinching support, prayers and mutual understanding that would lead us to electoral victory,” she said.

Ms Binami said, if elected, an APC regime would create multiple job opportunities and other creative ventures in Adamawa capable of boosting productivity.

“These opportunities would go a long way in alleviating poverty in the state and the nation at large,“ she said.

The APC governorship flag bearer also promised to create more opportunities for women by engaging them in productive ventures, promoting their health, as well as supporting them to acquire education.
