Meanwhile, the Leader of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara State, Senator Bukola Saraki, has said a Federal Government controlled by APC will make the security of life and property of all Nigerians a priority.
According to him, the PDP controlled Federal Government has failed to secure the lives and property of Nigerians.
Saraki spoke during the APC campaign rallies in Ilorin South Local Government Area of the state, covering Fufu, Tanke, Okaka and Balogun Fulani.
He said the violence in some northern part of the country, especially in the North-East had shown that the PDP lacked the capacity to guarantee the safety of Nigerians and their property.
