The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has declared that he would devote his time and energy in the service of Nigeria and the citizens.

Tinubu, who said this at an interactive session with members of the popular Tijjaniyyah sect in Kano on Sunday, stated that he won’t be a part-time president who will share his time between living in Dubai and Nigeria.

The former Lagos State Governor said he would concentrate his attention and energy on confronting and surmounting Nigeria’s challenges.

Tinubu, in a statement issued on Sunday by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, promised to improve electricity, security, and give agriculture full attention including provision and completion of dams and improved quality education for Nigerians if elected as president in the 2023 general election.

While assuring the APC presidential candidate their attention, the sect demanded that the Tinubu presidency should ensure inclusion of their members in cabinet and other government appointments, reduction in Hajj fares, and assistance in concluding Tijjaniyyah University under construction in Kano.

In his response, Tinubu said the answers to some of the demands were contained in his manifesto unfolded on Friday by President Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that he is running to be the president because of his commitment to better the lives of Nigerians.

In attendance at the session held inside the African Hall of Kano Government House were his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, and some APC Governors.
