The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pledged to revive the nation’s agricultural sector and enhance the country’s economy to give Nigerians a better life.
Tinubu also promised to make the perennial ASUU strikes history, adding that undergraduates would not need to spend extra years in the university beyond the standard duration of course of study
The APC flagbearer said this during the APC presidential campaign rally at August 27 Stadium in Damaturu, Yobe, on Tuesday.
Tinubu, who lauded Buhari for the return of peace and normalcy in the northeast region of the country, promised that his government would turn the region into the agro-allied processing centre of Nigeria.
“We will give you good jobs that you can depend on. Agriculture will come back. Hunger will go away. We will give you what is necessary, consumer credit to build houses and roofs over your heads,” he said
He, therefore, urged the people of Yobe and northeast Nigeria to vote APC candidates in the general elections, assuring that the economy would blossom under his watch.
The President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, promised that APC would win every contestable seat in Yobe because President Buhari had done wonderfully well in the last seven and half years in office.
He accused PDP of destroying Nigeria during its 16 years in power, saying “they should be ashamed of themselves and have no right to go around Nigeria seeking votes.”
‘‘We are all Buharists and that Buharism – integrity and love for country – will continue when you (President Buhari) hand over to Asiwaju,” Lawan said at the presidential campaign rally attended by all the APC governors from the region.
The National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, the Vice Presidential Candidate, Shettima as well as Plateau State governor and Director General of the Presidential Campaign Council, Simon Lalong, among others, attended the event.
