Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu on Friday unveiled his manifesto tagged “Renewed hope: Action plan for a better Nigeria”.
The unveiling was done simultaneously with the inauguration of the party’s presidential campaign council (PCC) by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“I seek to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because I know the way. My experience and past performance assure that. It will be through collective effort and national endeavour that we join hands, cross divides, and achieve our vision,” Tinubu said self-assuredly.
The APC presidential flag bearer said his campaign roadmap was borne out of interactions with Nigerians across the country who shared their needs and aspirations with him and Senator Kashim Shettima in the course of travelling round the country.
“The country does not need fancy promises or foreign experiments. Nigerians seek sustained progress and reform through stable governance and proven leadership.
“We need true and innovative solutions that address the specific challenges of each of our 36 states and our over 200 million people. We need our own Miracle on the Niger River,” he added.
The former governor of Lagos promised that his administration would provide sufficient jobs with decent wages; revive manufacturing industries; generate, transmit and distribute sufficient and affordable electricity; manufacture, produce and market good quantities of the essential goods and services; export more and import less to strengthen the Naira; make food available and affordable; modernise and expand public infrastructure.
Calling on all Nigerians to offer their inputs to his nation-building drive which he termed “our gift and duty to each other,” Tinubu also praised APC national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, for strengthening the party organisation as the general elections approach.
