Tinubu in Imo: I’ll work to advance Buhari’s legacies

The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has vowed to work assiduously to advance the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari if elected as the latter’s successor in the forthcoming presidential election.

“You know the president with honesty, integrity and dependability. We will continue with his incorruptible and being straightforward attributes,” Tinubu declared at the APC presidential campaign rally in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on Tuesday.

The APC presidential flag-bearer also promised to prudently manage the nation’s resources and increase the revenue-generation capacity as he did when he was Lagos State Governor.

Speaking on his plans for the Imo State, Tinubu said he would further invest in education as President Buhari who upgraded two institutions in the state to universities did, and help to make the state a tourist destination.

“We will strengthen and promote peace and unity in the state and confront violence and man inhumanity to fellow man as that’s the only way growth and development can be achieved,” he said.

Speaking at the rally, President Buhari said Tinubu would be the next president of the country

Buhari said he accompanied Tinubu to the state to sell him to the people, expressing gratitude for the massive turnout at the rally.

On his part, the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinnma, said the state is part of the Nigerian entity and “in brotherhood the people of the state shall stand with other Nigerians”.

The governor, however, thanked Buhari for his support for the state, adding that his presence at the rally was a great testament to his determination to make the party to win the 2023 presidential election and grow further.

Others at the rally were the APC National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu; and Governors David Umahi (Ebonyi) and Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos); among others.
