Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has described the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as an incorruptible individual, saying the quality is essential for good governance.
Kwankwaso made the remark on Saturday during the 5th convocation ceremony of Skyline University of Nigeria in Kano.
“One thing I noted in the last few months that we have been working together, is that Peter Obi is incorruptible. He’s not somebody that you can go and start thinking of corruption around him, and that is very key in governance in this country,” he said.
He also pledged that an NDC-led administration would prioritise free education, ensuring that no child is denied access to schooling because of financial difficulties.
“We have so much in common, especially in the issue of education. We believe that together it will be extremely difficult to see how any child will go around in this part of the country or elsewhere begging for what to eat.
“In other words, we are working towards free education to ensure that our children are not denied going to school because the parents cannot afford to pay school fees or other expenses.”
In his remarks, Obi promised to revive moribund industries in Kano to boost economic activities and create employment opportunities.
Describing Kano as central to Nigeria’s economic development, he said efforts to rebuild the country must begin with the state.
“If we want to fix the North and Nigeria, we must start from Kano. This town represents the soul of Nigeria,” he said.
