2019: Vote credible candidates, not just party, Maku urges Nigerians
Elections
By Sunday John
Nassarawa-Eggon (Nasarawa State), Dec. 27, 2018 (NAN) Mr Labaran Maku, Nasarawa State governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has called on Nigerians to vote for candidates based on their credibility and vision, and not just because of political party.
Maku, the National Secretary of APGA, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday, in Wakama, Nassarawa-Eggon Local Government Area.
According to him, Nigerians should not make a mistake of voting for candidates on the basis of coming from the same tribe or having same religion.
“2019 is yet another privilege for all Nigerians to choose leaders, and if you make any mistake, you have to live with it for another four years.
“Candidates must prove that they have the capacity, vision and plans to address the challenges confronting the county and make it better than they found it.
“Candidates who only present their political parties and not their vision as the reason they are contesting for election should not be voted for,” Maku said.
He urged those going for elective posts to also have the interest of the electorate at heart.
The candidate said that there are good and bad people in every political party, so the electorate should look beyond political party to vote good people.
He promised to make Nasarawa state a place where good governance and leadership would be pursued, if elected in 2019. (NAN)
