Sowore said “this is Daura, the hometown of the President but as you can see the roads are terrible, there is no electricity, people are poor here, the street lights don’t work and people here have welcomed us as you can see. This is why Nigerians should vote capacity and competency, rather than ethnicity and religion. It doesn’t matter if the person is your own, if he cannot deliver he cannot deliver”.
He also called on Nigerians to unite in their quest for good governance for the Nigerian people irrespective of the section, tribe or religion in other for the country to move forward.
Sowore was accompanied on the visit by Vice Presidential nominee of the AAC, Dr. Rabiu Ahmed Rufai. The 100 city tour which kicked off on the 22nd of November has so far visited Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Jigawa and Katsina State.
