Khaleel lambasts PDP
government
From ATIKU S. SARKI, Abuja
THE former gubernatorial candidates in 2003 elections under the platform of
All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Engr. Muhammad Nura Khalil has said that
the manifesto of the party has sufficient framework to lay a solid
foundation for the sustainable development and empowerment of Katsina state
and its people through the principle of equity and social justice.
Engr. Khalil stated this while picking nomination form at the National
Secretariat of the party in Central Area Abuja on Wednesday to re-contest in
the forthcoming 2007 elections.
According to him, the Katsina state government under the PDP has in the last
seven years did not deliver the much anticipated dividends of democracy
inspite of over N150 billion realised from the Federation Account and
Internally generated revenue.
“It is a matter of regret that, the level and ineptitude of the PDP led
government in Katsina has continued to exert an unbearable pressure on the
entire fabric of the society,” he said.
The gubernatorial aspirant however, added that for the last seven years,
even the most financial supporter of the PDP led government will agree that
the administration has unwittingly undermined the foundation of its
legitimacy.
He pointed out that poverty is now pervasive and unemployment has reached a
record level while moral absolutes have been abandon in the state.
Engr. Khalil however assured that by the will of God and the support of
Katsina people, he will offer a transparent, efficient, responsible and
discipline leadership that will enhance productivity among the people of the
state.
While anticipating the support of the party and its membership, the
gubernatorial aspirant further said that he was motivated to re-contest in
the elections basically by his deep concern over the alarming level of
retrogression occasioned by abject poverty, unemployment, infrastructural
decay, and falling standard of education.
He expressed happiness over the good leadership of the party and commended
his supporters most especially in the state for their tolerance and patience
despite the level of intimidation and ineptitude metted on them by PDP
government.
Responding, the acting national chairman of the party and a deputy National
chairman, Prince Ebuta Ayuka expressed appreciation with the development of
ANPP in Katsina state.
He believed that with the credibility of the gubernatorial aspirant who was
also a candidate in 2003 will fulfil the conditions of the party.
