Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has stated that Nigerian youths will not be sorry if they elect him as the next President in 2023.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the APC flagbearer stated this during a town hall meeting with some youths in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The former Lagos State Governor also pledged to serve Nigeria “tirelessly, faithfully, and honestly” if elected as President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.
Tinubu stated that he surrounded himself with brilliant young people on purpose because he believed in a democracy of ideas, teamwork, and collaboration.
He also promised to build a thriving digital economy in which those who want to pursue careers in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) would be able to do so.
He said;
If given the opportunity to be your President, I will serve tirelessly, faithfully, and honestly. I will incorporate the energy, innovation, and determination of youths all across my cabinet.
I will create a thriving and conducive environment for you to complete your education, start work or start a business, and earn a decent wage. With hard work and focus, you will once again be able to buy a car or a motorbike, buy a house, settle down, start a family and create a better life. I have plans to actualize all these dreams and can confirm that with your support these dreams will become a reality.
The time is now. I am offering up myself, my skills, my expertise, my passion and my track record to usher us into a better future. In this future hope is renewed, security is restored, opportunities are available, and good success is achievable. My running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima and I are here today with a message for renewed hope. It is anchored on a promise for a secure and prosperous Nigeria.
To be standing in the Federal Capital Territory today, the seat of government, and be welcomed by so many young people is truly a dream come true. The work we are doing, the future-proofing we are doing – it is for you!
I believe in bringing together the most competent hands, the brightest minds, and the most passionate persons. This was the strategy I used in Lagos, ignoring gender, age and states of origin, our team built a Lagos that continues to grow along the same trajectory. It is economically sound, globally competitive and world-renowned. This is our plan for the whole of Nigeria should we be elected into office in February. So elect us and let us get started.
Tinubu was accompanied to the event by Governors Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Simon Lalong (Plateau), ex-governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, Minister of Youths and Sports, Sunday Dare, and many chieftains of the APC.
