According to him, some of Buhari’s achievements are security and economic stability, capital projects and agriculture development.

Abacha said: “The APDA in its search for a torchbearer for this great nation, has found Buhari as a man of integrity, transparency and he is incorruptible.

“We have noticed a tremendous improvement in the area of security in Nigeria, especially in the northeast.

''Again, the stability in our economy and agriculture is a thing of joy. The home-grown feeding programme has generated millions of job opportunities and improved the consumption of local farm produce.

''When you consider the nation’s economic situation between 2014 and 2015, with the present situation, you will see that the country has largely improved.

"On capital projects, the Buhari government has completed and is still working on several abandoned projects across the country, especially road projects.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that a former governorship candidate of the PDP in Kaduna state, Alhaji Sani Bello popularly known as Mainan Zazzau, donated a storey building as campaign office to the Presidential Support Committee (PSC) in the northwest zone.

Bello who was a chieftain of the PDP, contested the governorship primaries and lost to Honourable Isa Ashiru, defected to APC shortly after the primaries and expressed confidence that President Buhari would win the election come February 16.

He further assured that he would be readily available to assist the PSC in any way possible and as may be required going forward.
