Presidential election not perfect but credible: Katsina Youths
A Coalition of Youth Organisations in Katsina State under the aegis of Katsina Youth Enlightenment Crusade on Peace and Development says Saturday’s presidential election, though not perfect, was credible.
The group’s convener and Vice Chairman, Board of Trustees of Katsina Youths Enlightenment, Malam Muhammad Danjuma-Katsina, said this during a news conference in Katsina on Sunday.
”A cursory look at the elections results released by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will convince any unbiased mind that the elections, though not perfect, was at least credible,” the group said.
“A good point in mind is the way some presidential candidates lost their home states to other candidates from other states. And even the current president couldn’t deliver his state.”
“We, therefore, appeal to relevant stakeholders to rectify all the anomalies recorded in the last presidential and National Assembly Elections and improve on the upcoming Gubernatorial and State Assembly polls slated for March. 11.”
The youths also appealed to the incoming President to complete all the ongoing projects in the state.
According to them, the projects include the rail line from Kano to the Niger Republic through Daura in Katsina State, the dual carriage from Kano to Katsina, 75MW Electricity Solar Plant in Lambar Rimi in Rimi Local Government of the state.
Others are the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) Booster Station in Katsina and to establish the Federal University of Agriculture in Funtua.
The youths noted that Funtua was the agricultural food basket of the state that supplied food to Katsina, the nation and beyond.
“Therefore we are calling on the incoming administration to give it the necessary attention it deserves through foreign and national aid by investing in agricultural potentials.”
A lot of controversies have trailed the electoral victory of president-elect, Bola Tinubu, as candidates of the PDP and the Labour Party, Messrs Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, rejected the results and called for its cancellation.
