Speaking at the party’s National Convention, which took place at the Rilwan Adamu Square in Bauchi on Thursday Makinde said it is not a coincidence that today’s epoch-making event is taking place in Bauchi, the home state of the first Prime Minister of Nigeria, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.

His Presidential running mate is Lawal Musa Daura, the former Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS) between 2015 and 2018, whom he said was deliberately chosen to solve the security situation of the country.
