Presenting Alhaji Ahmed Baba Kaita as APC candidate for the senatorial election, Osinbajo said that President Buhari was voted into power to stop the massive stealing and looting in Nigeria.
“Those who stole and looted are trying to come back to steal. But we say no way.
“As long as honest people like President Buhari are in the saddle, we will always have peace and progress.’’
He recounted President Buhari’s record in the revival of moribund and abandoned projects.
He said that the Mambilla power project abandoned 40 years ago has been revived, so also many other projects, including rail lines.

“In the interest of the common man, we must continue to vote for APC,’’ he pleaded.
Osinbajo urged the Katsina people to vote for APC to enable the party continue to have majority members in the senate.
“Politics is a game of number. We must be in majority in the senate.’’
Aside being the constituency of President Buhari, APC should retain the seat of Katsina North in memory of the departed late Sen. Bukar Madakidaya.
“A vote for APC in the constituency is a vote for President Buhari. So vote the right way,’’ he advised.
