He also pledged to reactivate industrial activities in the northwest state to create more jobs and reduce poverty if elected into office next year.

He said, “First of all, let me thank you for your support in 2019. Kaduna State gave me the highest number of votes in Nigeria. I have come here to pledge on behalf of the PDP that if you give us your votes, we will restore peace in Kaduna State. The security challenges will be addressed.

“We promise that we will reactivate the industries in Kaduna state in collaboration with the current private sector in Kaduna State. We will establish those factories. We promise you that the road linking Kaduna and Kano, linking Kaduna to Jos, and linking Kaduna and Abuja, will be completed by the grace of God. These are four undertakings that I am taking on behalf of the PDP if you vote for PDP,” Atiku stated.

The rally was part of the party’s presidential campaign activities in the northern region.

Earlier on Saturday and Sunday, Atiku had separate engagements with Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Elders Forum, Islamic clerics and Christian leaders in Kaduna State where he reiterated his commitment to ensuring religious harmony and promoting tolerance.
