The Accord Party governorship candidate in Kebbi State, Muhammad Sani Abdullahi Bunza, has promised to use Islamic injunctions as part of his approach to tackling banditry and kidnapping if elected in 2027.
Bunza made the promise on Saturday at a candidate engagement forum organised by the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kebbi State Council.
He said passages from the Qur’an, if applied with sincerity, could help end banditry and kidnapping in the state.
The candidate also promised to raise the minimum wage for Kebbi workers to N500,000 monthly if elected.
He said the proposed wage was aimed at improving workers’ welfare and addressing what he described as hardship among civil servants.
Bunza urged Kebbi residents to vote for candidates based on their plans and programmes ahead of the 2027 election.
