We Will Drive Nigeria’s Potential To Reality – Tinubu

Published

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for president, claims that if elected, his administration will work to realize Nigeria’s vast potential.

On Thursday, he made the commitment while addressing at the APC Presidential Townhall in Owerri, the state capital of Imo.

“Talking about potential that is pregnant with many things and never had a delivery. We will drive Nigeria’s potential to reality of delivery, of progressive life bar of industrialisation, progress, manufacturing and electricity.

“We know by empowering consumer, they definitely will empower others, the more we consume the more we produce, and if it is willingly given, expeditiously produced, stealing will stop,” the former Lagos State governor said.

Additionally, Tinubu stated that he would work with Nigerians to combat the plague of insecurity, which he claimed opposition parties had highlighted without truly comprehending what it meant to fight up against it.

Even though the nation is made up of several tribes, ethnic groups, and religious groups, the APC presidential candidate emphasized the necessity for unity and fraternity.

“They don’t even remember that they were in school before and they inherited the first stanza of Nigeria’s national anthem at independence, though tribes and tongue may differ in brotherhood we shall stand.

“So I am here a Yoruba man seeking the votes and support and encouragement and prayers of an Igbo man, what the difference in that? We are both carrying the same blood looking at the same God who is the creator and believing in the unity of our country,” Tinubu said.

The venue for the townhall was filled up by party faithful as well as party chieftains which include the APC vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, the host governor, Hope Uzodimma; Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State; former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim among others.
