Hamidu Tafida, a
presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on
Saturday appealed to Nigerians to purchase nomination form for him.
Mr Tafida made the
appeal in Jalingo while declaring his intention to contest the 2019
presidential election.
He said the situation
in the country requires sacrifice by all citizens in order to get things right
and overhaul the nation.
“I wish to officially
make public my intention to run for the Presidency of Nigeria.
“Let me appeal to one
million Nigerians to put together N200 each and purchase nomination form for me
to enable me actualise this ambition for the good of all,” he said.
Mr Tafida, a Deputy
Director at Jalingo Local Government Council in Taraba, noted that Nigerians
should be wise and resist attempts by “political merchants” to continue to
stifle the country’s development.
He said that if
elected, he would tackle corruption and insecurity head-on by doing away with
impunity, to pave way for rapid development.
The aspirant also
promised to create jobs through mechanised agriculture and rapid
industrialisation.
“Nigerians have
suffered enough; it is time to make sacrifices for a better society,” he said.
He advised the people
not to bow to the current menace of vote-buying, saying that such practice
could cripple the country.
