Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Kano governor and presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in has promised to give all Nigerians free education from primary to tertiary level if he becomes president.
“Free education will be my priority just like it was in Kano. As governor, I sponsored more than 1000 students to the best schools in Nigeria and abroad; I want to replicate that, if elected.”
Kwankwaso, who spoke yesterday, Thursday in Jos, during a consultation visit to the North-Central state, promised to run an all-inclusive government, a leadership virtue he accused the APC administration of lacking.
“A key solution to Nigeria’s problems is a participatory government that will ward off mutual suspicion and distrust. It will address the gap in communication which is largely responsible for farmer/herder clashes, religious violence and ethnic crisis in the country. ”
Kwankwaso accused the current government of failing to eradicate hunger and unemployment, and regretted that there were no jobs for the youths.
He promised to pay special attention to infrastructure, security and education, if elected, and promised to build roads and bridges to ease movements.
