The Ekiti State Governor and presidential aspirant on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Dr Kayode Fayemi, has visited Bauchi State to seek the support of delegates ahead of the presidential primaries slated for the end of the month.
reports have shown that Kayode Fayemi is one of the APC presidential aspirants seeking the party’s ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
His visit came a day after another presidential aspirant and Vice-president of the country, Yemi Osibanjo visited the state to also woo the delegates.
Fayemi while addressing national delegates at the APC secretariat in Bauchi yesterday, said that he is in the state to consult with leaders of the party and exchange ideas in order to move the nation forward.
He said that the reason why he is vying for the position of the president in the 2023 general elections is to solve the challenges of security bedevilling the nation, stressing that Nigeria needs leaders that will change the narratives of the country.
Fayemi said that he has helped many countries that had security challenges in the past to resolve their issues, adding that he has bagged a PhD in security studies.
“So, for me, every day revolves around this party and this party has given me all of what I can live into, so it is important that whatever we do, we build it on the strength of this party and address whatever the gaps are in this country”.
“Our aspiration is to continue from where the President will stop in May 2023.
We will quickly fill out the gaps that must have been created and left behind. We will build on the gains of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and address the gaps that our people have highlighted across the country “.
”Not everything has been done because the government is an unfinished project, it only those who have the requisite knowledge, capacity, experience, expertise and passion for the ordinary Nigerians and integrity that will be able to address these issues
“I will like to say that by my training, my experience and knowledge, I have what it takes to make a fundamental difference in the life of our people.
“That is why what I have come to share with you is called ‘My pact with the All Progressives Congress’ and I believe that has been shared. I hope our leaders will take the time to go through and see some of the issues I highlighted in the document”
“But I have been fortunate to have worked in various capacities, I used to be an agitator fighting for democracy in Nigeria in the military days.
I used to run something called Radio Kudirat when we were fighting the military for annulling June 12”
“I have been a consistent card carrier before becoming a politician. As a young student leader, a pro-democracy crusader and many other things that eventually brought us into politics” he said
He then solicited the support of the national delegates from Bauchi state during the party primaries urging them to cast their votes for him in order to become the party’s presidential candidate in the general elections.
