The
former military ruler who unveiled the emblem of the APC at the event added,
“We are going to win in 2015. We have confidence in it. How much have our
states earned from 1999 to date and what is the level of development and
infrastructure? The railway, industries and so many companies have all
gone because of outright theft in the system. So, between now and 2015, we have
great job to do and by God’s grace, we shall make it.”

‘We
have to denounce our unfruitful support to a party that have left us
undeveloped. It’s time for us to believe that we have leaders we can
trust. APC does not discriminate based on tribe and religion, and we believe
that with APC, Nigeria will regain its status. Kaduna must learn from what
happened in Nasarawa in 2011.”
