The Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured the people of Edo State that he will be a listening president who will address all their needs and create prosperity for the people of the state.
Tinubu said this on Sunday at the town hall meeting in Benin to APC stakeholders and different trade groups and civil society organisations.
According to Tinubu, the people of the state are not lazy, hence he will create jobs for them to thrive and live well.
He charged the Edo people to take back their state from the PDP who are oblivious and ignorant to leading the state to prosperity and unity.
He said, “Edo, take your state back. First of all let us forge unity. Let’s find the way where they say there is no way.
“We must rescue Edo State. I am ready to work with you. Take lantern, go from house to house. Don’t get angry. Anger does not solve problems. Disappointment is an energiser for me. You Disappoint me, I work harder. You betray me, I don’t get angry, I ignore you.
“The reason is because you are not my God and you are not my creator. My mother taught me if you are sad, I will share your sorrow with you, if you are happy I will rejoice with you. If you are poor I will share the little I have with you”.
Tinubu advised the people of the state against voting for PDP and Atiku Abubakar because the opposition party is not organised and can’t solve problems of the country.
“You see PDP. They are scattered, they don’t know the road. Atiku does not know how to lie again except falsifying lie upon lie. Atiku cannot hold serious job for Nigeria. When they were privatising Aluminium Smelter Company at Ikot Abasi and privatising NITEL, I was negotiating Free Trade Zone in China. I negotiated Lekki Deep Seaport in Singapore and it is Deepest Sea Port now in West Africa. Edo people are extremely smart. You can do the job.
“Count on me at the federal level. I will be your listening President. Vote for me. Prosperity is here. When you put down ballot paper in the box say it is for creating job. I will create jobs for you because you are not lazy.”
