Mrs. Buhari stressed the importance of women participating actively in the general elections. She enjoined all women not to only cast their votes but also ensure that they guard their votes jealously until the results were announced.

She said, In view of this, I urge all to obtain your Permanent Voter Cards and also enjoin others to also get theirs to enable them to vote for the party during election.

More importantly is that you also recognise the logo and know how to thumb print appropriately to prevent void votes. I also want to appeal to you not to sell your vote to any party as it is the only weapon you can use to drive the PDP out of government.

She also enjoined all well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on INEC not to tinker with the February 14 date for the elections.

I also want to acknowledge your highly influential role as mothers, particularly on your households, and therefore urge you to caution your children to shun any form of violence before, during and after the elections, she said.

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), on Tuesday said any public officials, who betrayed the trust of Nigerians and illegally enrich himself under his administration, would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

He promised Nigerians that there would be no hiding place for corrupt elected officials, including governors, and all other government officials in his administration.

Buhari gave the assurance at his Presidential rally, held at the Pantami International Stadium, Gombe.

He said, We must do away with corruption as well as develop the Nigerian economy if we are elected into office by the grace of God. Any official that is elected or appointed to serve under me, must be transparent because if any of them embezzles public funds, he will face the consequences.

The presidential hopeful also promised to boost electricity supply in all parts of the country, and revive moribund industries in order to address unemployment.

Our youths are suffering and walking around the streets without employment but we will strive to make them gainfully employed, so as to disengage them from vices that can destroy their future, Buhari stated.

The APC Presidential candidate said he would also look into ways of collaborating with advanced countries to revamp the agriculture sector.

He said schools would also be given a facelift and qualified teachers would be recruited.

Also speaking at the rally, the National Chairman of the party, John Oyegun, called on the Nigerian public to vote massively for the APC in the forthcoming election, to guarantee progress and development.

Corrupt officials in my govt will be punished Buhari

By Nurudeen M. Abdallah

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate said instead of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) controlled presidential debate; he had kicked off town hall meetings to directly interact with Nigerians from all walks of life.

Buhari alongside his running mate Prof Yemi Osinbajo will interact and explain to citizens the policy thrust of their envisaged administration should he win the presidential election and how the set objectives will be achieved.

The town hall meetings kicked off in Lagos on Monday with interaction between Buhari and Osinbajo with the organised private sector, a statement from his campaign media and publicity director Malam Garba Shehu said.

Buhari said his party was compelled to chart this course because of the need to have a person-to-person interactive session during which pertinent questions will be posed to the candidates and responses provided.

"Our campaign decided to chart this path because we cannot afford to shy away from the more pressing urgency to have one-on-one interactions with Nigerians through town hall meetings," Buhari's spokesperson said.

"Due to the more pressing urgency to have an open interaction with Nigerians, the campaign will be organising town hall meetings in different parts of the country," the statement said.

The statement said "on Tuesday, the town hall meeting will hold in Kano with traders and market associations. Thereafter, the meeting will hold in Benin with labour and civil society leaders.

"The focus of the town hall meeting will then shift to Ibadan where students and youth groups will be engaging General Buhari and Professor Osinbajo, while Enugu and Port Harcourt will follow suit," it said.

Akinwunmi Ambode

The Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, says continued progress and development of the state should be of major concern to Lagosians.

He added that there was no need for the residents to experiment with the Peoples Democratic Party as the APC had done well.

Ambode explained that if allowed in Lagos, the PDP would only replicate bad governance it had been displaying at the federal level.

The governorship candidate spoke on Monday at the APC campaign rally in the Ojo Local Government Area.

He said, The continued progress and development of Lagos is the major concern of our party and that is why we will not allow PDP to win the state because they will disrupt the continuity of good governance in Lagos.

I have learnt good governance from Bola Tinubu and our Governor, Babatunde Fashola, for 15 years. The state needs a financial wizard like me to manage its economy.

Ambode told the audience that he served as a former auditor general of the local government and later, of the state. He added that a competent financial manager like him would move the state forward.

He said he had a wealth of experience on how to run the state successfully and as such, was better prepared for the governorship job.

He said, Continuity of good governance is the watch word of our campaign. We will build another general hospital in the Ojo area of the state and complete the on going light rail project and the expansion of the Lagos- Badagry Expressway.
