Sowore said he could build the Kano-Kaduna road within few months of his presidency.
Presidential aspirant and Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore has started positioning himself as a candidate who would run a Nigeria devoid of religious or ethnic prejudice.
Sowore and his team have been moving from city to city to convince Nigerians he can do a better job than the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of the 2019 election.
In his bid to capture the hearts of the Muslim faithful in the north and across the country, Sowore, a Christian, was seen, in some photos and video circulating online, praying in a mosque with other Muslims.
The photos have generated mixed reactions on social media, with some criticising the move and describing it as mere deception.
