A Gubernatorial Aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Northwest Nigeria, Mohammed Sani Abdullahi Dattijo Tuesday, unveiled a six point development plan to reposition the State come 2023 general election.
Dattijo who led a crowd of supporters to the party Secretariat promised to consolidate on the legacies of the Governor Nasir el-Rufai if elected.
The Governorship hopeful who was chief of staff (CoS) to el-Rufai and Commissioner for Budget and Planning Commission solicited the support of the party leadership ahead of the primaries to emerge as standard flag bearer of the party.
Shortly after the meeting with party leaderships at the party Secretariat, Dattijo addressed a press conference where he rolled out his six point agenda if he gets elected as governor of the state.
