2023 PRESIDENTIAL RACE! BAKURA IDENTIFIES POVERTY, UNDER POLICING, EMPHASIS ON PAPER QUALIFICATION AS BANE OF NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS...

A former governor of Zamfara State and a Presidential aspirant, Senator Yerima Amed Bakura has identified poverty, under policing, undue emphasis on paper qualification as part of the bane of Nigeria's woes.
Bakura stated this in Jos,Wednesday while on a private friendly visit to Chief Dr Amos Gizo, a gubernatorial aspirant in Jos plateau State.
Bakura opined that when elected as the President of Nigeria come 2023 he will adopt a strategy that will bring the country out of the woods.

"For example, the insecurity that we have, we need a robust Police, policing, once we can have Police that are well equipped, the number of Police we have in Nigeria are so inadequate. Look at Ethiopia with a population of about fifty million people they have over one million Police but in Nigeria I was told we have about three hundred and seventy two thousand Police, this is grossly inadequate. So first thing that we need to do is to employ more youths, able bodied youths screen by the community and religious leaders employ and give them very good salary, give them weapons,and communication equipments, they will be able to solve this problem of insecurity.
Poverty is one of the greatest problem of Nigeria that is increasing and enhancing the insecurity we have, if we can bring out programs and policies that can solve the problem of poverty in Nigeria or reduce it to the bearest minimum then everybody has something doing, no human being should sleep with an empty stomach while government is working. We will do our best to make sure every Nigerian has something to do.
And then in education, the country has a policy of free education at least to secondary school level but this is not working because there is no policy to ensure that it works. In Europe and America you have what we call students loan board where every student after getting admission can go to that board take a loan that can be paid after twenty five years after graduation to not only study but to take another loan to establish his own business. Our education is tailored after paper qualification, we have to change it.we have to go for an education that will bring out entrepreneurs, business men, factory owners so that once you finished your university you already have something to do and government will facilitate by giving you adequate loans that you will pay gradually when you establish your business so that you will not only employ yourself but others so this is what our government will do. The orphans, the needy will be taken care of by government in social welfare programs.there are a lot of programs and policies that will come on board to make sure these challenges Will be solved by the grace of God" Bakura revealed.

On the facts and reason behind the Sharia law, Bakura stressed "you see its all about ilitracy and ignorance. Nigerian constitution from independence has Sharia law inshrined in the constitution, when as a governor I said I was going to do Sharia law to guide Moslems on the way they should practice their religion without any hinderance from the government or anybody and the Christians in Zamfara State will testify to the fact that when I came out to contest they were my strongest supporters, there is one Church called our Lady of Fatima, intact they took me from one Church to the other, they organized meetings with CAN and because they had no certificate of occupancy for their Church, because it has expired twenty five years before I became governor, and when I was DG I recommended that certificate, when i became governor I signed that certificate and they were very happy, so when I said I want to do Sharia they came scared saying you helped us in one hand and you want to take all that we have with the other hand, I asked why and they said if you introduce Sharia they are going to kill us, I said how? Its all misinformation, but you can see, not only that there was stability but there was never a crisis in Zamfara because of Sharia today not even in Platesu, did you hear there was any crisis because of Sharia? Before my program, everywhere, in Plateau, Kaduna, Taraba you will hear Moslems will say we want Sharia Christians will say you cannot have Sharia, now in the whole of Nigeria Moslems believe they have Sharia and Christians believe they have no problem with Sharia so at least that is an achievement that my program has made and therefore Sharia is now clearly understood by Christians, there is no more mischief makers that will say with Sharia you will be killed, with Sharia your hand off Christians will be cut or flight flogged, no, even the Moslem, the clear objective of Sharia is to deter the Moslems from commuting offenses. A Christian Reverend Father came to me  and said look, if you look at the Bible there is a very harsh provisions, the provision of stoning to death etc, is there in the Bible, but they say the death of Jesus has taken away those harsh punishments but they are still read in the Bible. If you read it and you are a very good Christian you will fear God, if you know that this offense before was to attract this punishment then you will know that you should not commit this offense is the something with our Qur'an

Earlier, Chief Amos Gizo, a strong political stalwart and an aspiring gubernatorial candidate in Plateau while welcoming the presidential candidate,  Senator Yarima Bakura who paid him a private friendly visit said the visit will forever remain very important to him as he promised to work hand in hand with Bakura until he winss and become the President of Nigeria".
Gizo who recounts their years of friendship and political sojourn of the duo expressed his delight over the visit  and offers a campaign office and other logistics free of charge to the presidential candidate. He further calls on all Nigerians to consider the lovefty  blueprint Bakura has for Nigeria which will solve most of the challenges the nation is faced with today.
Bakura was accompanied on the visit by his campaign DG, members of Bauch State house of Assembly and other supporters.
