….Pledges To Revive Kolmani Oil Exploration….
Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has promised to restore petroleum and electricity subsidies, tackle insecurity and sustain oil exploration in Kolmani if elected president in the 2027 general elections.
Atiku made the promises on Saturday during the ADC presidential campaign rally held at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi State.
He said his administration, if elected, would prioritise restoring petroleum and electricity subsidies as part of measures to address the economic challenges facing Nigerians.
The former vice president also pledged to restore security across the North-East and other parts of the country, assuring Nigerians that insecurity would receive serious attention under his leadership.
Atiku further promised to sustain petroleum exploration activities in the Kolmani oil field to create additional sources of revenue for the country.
He said, “I have already promised all Nigerians that I will restore petroleum subsidy. Not only that, I will also restore subsidy in power, electricity power.
“Thirdly, I said I will restore security in the northern subregion and the country in general.
“I also promised that I will continue the exploration of petroleum in Kolmani, so that we will have additional sources of revenue.”
On the forthcoming elections, Atiku urged ADC supporters to remain vigilant and ensure that their votes were protected, describing the exercise as essential to safeguarding their democratic rights.
He called on voters to ensure that their votes were properly counted and that election results were transmitted before leaving their polling units.
The ADC presidential candidate said the responsibility of protecting their votes should not be limited to the presidential election but should also cover elections into the National Assembly, state assemblies and local government councils.
He urged the people of Bauchi State to come out in large numbers and vote for ADC candidates at all levels, from the presidency to councillorship positions.
Atiku expressed appreciation to the people of Bauchi State for their continued support, describing the state as one of the areas that had given him some of the highest votes in previous elections.
He assured them that he would not forget their loyalty, pledging to work towards addressing the country’s major challenges if given another opportunity to lead Nigeria.
He also thanked Almighty God for granting him another opportunity to visit Bauchi State and seek the support of its people, assuring them that he would not take their continued loyalty for granted.
