The national leader of All Progressive Congress (APC) and presidential aspirant Bola Ahmed Tinubu has hinted that he helped Rauf Aregbesola, Kayode Fayemi , Olusegun Mimiko to become governors of their respective state. Tinubu made this declaration when he paid courtesy visit to three prominent traditional rulers in Ondo state.
Speaking at the Palace of the Deji of Akure, when he paid a courtesy visit, he disclosed how he was able to reclaim the mandate for Governor Mimiko through the court of law. He added that he has helped many people politically and now is his turn to be helped.
“We helped Buhari sack them (PDP). We supported him to complete his eight-year term and I have told him I want to succeed him. He said I should go ahead, that is why I came to seek the support of the traditional rulers.”
In his submission, Tinubu promised to fix Nigeria if elected, saying that will be his greatest priority.
“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,” He said
Deji of Akure Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, eulogized Tinubu, saying that he has the magic wand to fix the country’s Problems.
