El-rufai also thanked Tinubu for the visit and also for remembering Kaduna during its trying moments and for his generosity.
“You are the first presidential aspirant to come to Kaduna, you are not taking us for granted, we will not forget that,” he said.
“You have spoken to our people, they appear convinced, and when the people of Kaduna give their words sir, you can be rest assured of our support.
“We keep to our words and ensure that as we intend to keep our promise. We will also want you to promise to deal with insecurity, infrastructure and support agriculture and empowerment,” he said.
Earlier in his remarks, Tinubu assured Nigerians that his leadership will bring peace, stability and end banditry and killings if elected.
