APC Campaign: Sule, foreign investor plan Apo-Keffi light rail line

From Abel Leonard, Lafia

Sule made this known at the All Progressive Congress (APC) campaign rally held in Karu local government area of the state on Wednesday.

Speaking at the event, Sule urged residents of the state to put their faith in him as his administration continues to work hard to industrialize the state via provision of critical infrastructure, investments in sectors, boosting of the state’s internal generated revenue among others.

He said part of the efforts of his administration to turn around the state for good if reelected is the plan by the state government and a foreign investor to construct a light rail line from Apo community in Abuja to Keffi local government area of the state.

Sule who who did not mention the identity of the foreign investor said the goal of the project is to ease transport challenges faced by residents commuting from Nasarawa to Abuja.

“A big chinese firm has approached us with the intention of collaborating with us to build a rail line from Apo to Keffi.

“By the time they finish the rail line, it will decongest the major highway from Karu to Keffi.

“All they want is for me to speak with some of the biggest investors that I have worked for in the past for a partnership so construction can begin by middle of next year,” he said.

He called on residents not to lose hope on APC as the party continues to work round the clock to churn out dividends of democracy.

He also assured supporters that the party would always be law abiding and obey court judgments on all matters, including cases brought to courts by some contestants who lost out at the party’s primaries but are contesting the outcome of the polls in court.

“If anybody feels cheated and wants to go to court, we will not stop them. We will plead with them not to go but if they decide they must go, we cannot stop them and whatever decision is taken by the court at the end of the day, I want to assure you that we are law abiding party,” he said.

Speaking earlier, Sen. Abubakar Sodangi, Chairman, Nasarawa APC Campaign Council called on supporters not to be partial in their support but give their full support to all APC candidates in the state so that the process of delivering dividends of democracy would be seamless.

“I call on you not just to give your support to our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our Governorship candidate, Engr Abdullahi Sule but also vote in all APC candidates vying for elective positions in the state from top to bottom,” he said.

Daily Sun reports that the  Governor Abdullahi Sule flanked by Dr John Mamman, Chairman of the party and other party leaders in the state presented the party’s flag to candidates seeking elective position in the area in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
