Tinubu: I’ll repeat Lagos success in Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has vowed to replicate his success as Lagos State Governor in Nigeria if elected as president in 2023.

Tinubu said this in his action plan for campaign titled, ‘Renewed Hope’, which was unveiled in Abuja on Friday.

The 80-page document was officially unveiled by President Muhammadu Buhari in company of party chieftains and top government officials at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Tinubu said he was willing and prepared to bring into national stage his outstanding performance of eight years in Lagos State in the areas of development of institutions and introduction of policies that changed the face of the state.

The two-term former governor of Lagos State said his giant strides in the state had enabled a safe place for residents and created an engine room for economic prosperity for commercial dwellers.

In his 20-page paragraph foreword, the APC presidential candidate listed basic healthcare, education, and housing as key areas of focus.

Tinubu also promised to establish a bold and assertive policy to aid strong and adaptive national security architecture that will end terrorism.

He said: “When I was governor of Lagos State, my team and I developed institutions and policies that changed the face of the state.

“It became a safe place for residents and an engine room of prosperity for all those willing to work in pursuit of their economic dreams.

“What my team and I achieved in Lagos, together we all can achieve for Nigeria.

“Our objective is to foster a new society based on shared prosperity, tolerance, compassion and the unwavering commitment to treat each citizen with equal respect and due regard.”

While promising to build on the legacy of President Buhari and the APC, Tinubu said: “Standing on the foundation emplaced by the current administration, we shall build a Nigeria, especially for our youth, where sufficient jobs with decent wages create a better life.

“Our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) was founded on the premise that the people of our beloved country are entitled to the benefits that only progressive good governance can procure.”
