Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate has promised Nigerians that hope has returned and that the country will survive despite adversity.
At the APC presidential campaign flag-off held Tuesday at the Rawang Pam Township Stadium in Jos, Plateau State, Tinubu made this pledge.
“Hope is back, Nigeria will be well. Nigeria will not sink. We hereby reaffirm our commitment to progressive good governance,” the former Lagos State governor said.
President Muhammadu Buhari, Senate President Ahmed Lawan, the APC governors, and other national party stakeholders were present for the flag-off.
All of the governors who spoke, including Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Ben Ayade of Cross River, Mohammed Badaru of Jigawa, Mai Mala Buni of Yobe, and Nasiru El-Rufai of Kaduna, vowed to work for the party’s success and urged supporters to do the same.
The event witnessed the presence of heavy security operatives who had a hard time controlling the crowd. It took the intervention of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Idris Maje, to bring the situation under control.
In the presence of Hajia Nana Shettima, Senator Remi Tinubu reassured women and youth that they will be included in administration and that they had nothing to worry when casting their votes for the party in 2023.
She said, “God will make our nation greater than what is being seen…, there will be food, there will be jobs…”
