Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos State and a presidential candidate, has promised to address the country’s numerous issues if elected.
He revealed this on Friday when he paid a visit to the Chairman of the Ondo Council of Traditional Rulers, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, the Deji of Akure.
If given the chance to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, Tinubu said he would do the same thing he did to assist raise Lagos revenue.
He claimed that if he is elected to succeed Buhari, Nigeria will be among the world’s top nations, and that Nigeria will compete with Russia in oil and gas development.
He claims to be aware of the country’s problems and has promised to unite all of the country’s regions in order to promote growth and development.
He said: “Lagos State was the worst state in Africa when I became governor, we generate meagre revenue then but we did our best. Look at Lagos now, it generates over N40 billion in revenue.
“Division is one of the problems in Nigeria too but there is no division in Lagos because any tribe or religion is welcomed as they can contest and win elections. That is why Lagos is thriving.
“Nigeria has the potential to compete with Russia in oil and gas exploration. If we harness our resources properly and if there is stable electricity, Nigeria will also compete with other nations in manufacturing.
“I am here to seek the blessing of our royal fathers for my presidential ambition because I know where the problems are and if given the opportunity in 2023, Nigeria will be ranked among the best nations in the world. I am imploring all eligible voters to get their Permanent Voters Card revalidated for them to exercise their civic responsibilities.”
In his words, the Deji of Akure backed the national leader of the All Progressives Congress in his bid for the presidency (APC).
Tinubu is the proper choice for the presidency in 2023, according to the monarch, and he has the ability to tackle the country’s problems.
