PDP, APC foisted poverty on Nigerians – Katsina Labour Celebration chairman

The Katsina State Labour Celebration Chairman, Ibrahim Musawa, who can also be the social gathering’s governorship candidate within the state, on this interview with OLAIDE OYELUDE, says the Labour Celebration’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is extra credible than the All Progressives Congress’ Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the Peoples Democratic Celebration’s Atiku Abubakar

How common is the Labour Celebration in Katsina State?

The Labour Celebration could be very common in Katsina State. The social gathering is third by way of recognition after the APC and the PDP. We now have buildings in any respect ranges; from the ward to the native authorities and the state stage. We’re all there.

And when you think about the truth that many individuals in Katsina State have seen by way of the lies of the APC and the PDP, they rush to our social gathering every day. The emergence of Peter Obi as our social gathering’s presidential candidate has additionally warmed the hearts of many residents of Katsina State. We additionally haven’t any fewer than 48 supporting teams, together with Home to Home, POBA (Peter Obi and Baba Ahmed), and lots of others on our aspect, making the social gathering a pressure to reckon with within the state.

The Labour Celebration doesn’t have any members within the state Home of Meeting, and within the Federal Home of Representatives or the Senate. How do you relate this to your declare that the social gathering is common in Katsina State?

You recognize the APC at present has members at each the state home of meeting and the Home of Representatives, whereas it has two members as senators. I can guarantee you that if the election is free and honest, all of this can change in 2023.

APC offered lies to the folks of the state to persuade them to be there since 2015, however as I stated earlier, folks have seen by way of the lies and at the moment are eagerly ready for the 2023 election to show the social gathering incorrect.

As an illustration, the one landmark tasks that you will note within the state now are these launched into and accomplished by the previous Governor Ibrahim Shema’s regime. The APC is just good at renovating buildings and awarding unknown contracts.

The Labour Celebration at present has many decampees from the APC, particularly those that left the social gathering due to its lies and anti-people programmes.

So, our social gathering waxes stronger within the state every day, and we’re assured of victory on the normal election.

How ready is the Labour Celebration for the 2023 election within the state, and the way would you describe the possibilities of your social gathering within the election?

We’re totally ready. Our probabilities get brighter daily. The fantastic thing about the present improvement within the state is that the folks of the state see no distinction between the APC and the PDP by way of deceit. The folks have now discovered solace within the Labour Celebration. I used to be the Labour Celebration governorship candidate in 2011, 2015, and 2019.

So, when one speaks about political developments in Katsina State, I do know all of the intrigues concerned, and I can boldly say that the Labour Celebration has brighter probabilities on the forthcoming election. Within the identify of Allah, we will succeed.

On the nationwide stage, our presidential candidate, Peter Obi is forward of different presidential candidates if you speak of credibility. Is it the PDP candidate, who was a former Vice President to President Olusegun Obasanjo, Atiku Abubakar, that doesn’t have points regarding credibility whereas in authorities, or the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, who didn’t have credibility issues whereas he was Lagos State governor? It is just my principal, the Labour Celebration presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who many Nigerians know doesn’t have a credibility downside. Obi has even advised Nigerians that he believes within the progress of Nigeria and the welfare of Nigerians. He has additionally assured that if he wins the presidential election, he would select members of his cupboard on advantage and never on a non secular, political, or ethnic foundation. All these have endeared the Labour Celebration extra to the hearts of Nigerians, and I’m assured that, by God’s grace, the Labour Celebration would win the final elections each in Katsina and on the federal stage.”

Are you not stunned that Governor Aminu Masari stated in a latest interview that he doesn’t know your presidential candidate and declared that his social gathering’s presidential candidate would win the 2023 presidential election?

Do you count on him to not promote and promote his social gathering’s presidential candidate? The governor is entitled to his opinion identical to you and I are entitled to ours. The actual fact nonetheless stays that the Labour Celebration’s presidential candidate has higher credibility within the eyes of Nigerians than the presidential candidates of the APC and PDP.

Obi will win the election whether it is free and honest, and I’m imploring the Unbiased Nationwide Electoral Fee to make sure a reputable, free and honest election. We should always permit folks’s votes to depend on the election.

What are issues that your social gathering would do otherwise from others if it wins the 2023 normal elections each in Katsina State and on the nationwide stage?

My principal, Peter Obi has stated that if the Labour Celebration wins the presidential election, he would resolve the safety challenges throughout Nigeria inside his first two months in authorities. He has additionally assured that members of his cupboard can be chosen from throughout all of the political events and can be primarily based purely on advantage and never on faith or the place you come from.

He has additionally assured that he would entice extra investments to Nigeria.

Briefly, he’ll run a programme that may cater for almost all of poor Nigerians, according to the philosophy of the Labour Celebration.

All people is aware of that Katsina State at present has safety challenges.

Sadly, the APC authorities that’s at present in energy within the state doesn’t have the know-how to resolve the issue. They aren’t doing the precise issues to resolve the issue. You don’t resolve safety challenges by donating automobiles. That’s pure contract; you don’t remedy safety challenges by holding dialogue with terrorists. That may be a contract, too, as some individuals are sure to learn from it as an alternative of helping you.

The Labour Celebration has methods to resolve the safety challenges in Katsina State, and I can guarantee you that after we’re inaugurated into workplace after successful the 2023 election, it should take me simply three months to resolve the problem. I’d not maintain any dialogue with terrorists, however the state can be rid of terrorists inside the first three months of my authorities in Katsina State. We now have a blueprint for that already. We additionally produce other programmes that may carry the state among the many comity of states.

What can be your recommendation for the folks of the state usually because the 2023 election approaches?

I’ll advise our folks within the state to see the 2023 normal election as a possibility offered by democracy to liberate themselves from poverty and hardship that the governments of the PDP and APC have foisted on them within the state. Our folks ought to come out enmasse and vote for the Labour Celebration.

The Labour Celebration is the social gathering for each Nigerian, regardless of your faith and your financial standing. We ought to be orderly and observe all the principles and laws guiding our participation within the election.’’
