Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has expressed his confidence in the foremost presidential candidate in the country and revered national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in charting a more prosperous course for the country when elected next year.
Abiodun said this while fielding questions from journalists after a town hall meeting and interactive session with business community and the organized private sector, organised for Tinubu/Shettima presidential team, held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The governor explained that Tinubu and his running mate; Senator Kashim Shettima, who both possess administrative experience have the needed knowledge and wherewithal to walk their talk.
He described members of the team selected from every part of the country as highly skilled, knowledgeable and experienced individuals who are ready to hit the ground running for the good of the nation.
“This is an open and transparent display of a team that has capacity, experience and knowledge, and will hit the ground running. It is a typical example of what an inclusive governance will be.
“A government that will not be afraid to take issues head on and interact with people. I am highly impressed with how our presidential hopeful delivered his blueprint and I am confident that his administration will benefit Nigerians.
“When you look at the calibre of people in the team that cut across the country, you will know that these are the people that understand the pain of Nigerians and the incoming government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration will be participatory”. Abiodun stated.
During the program, Tinubu impressed it on his sophisticated audience that the private sector remains the key to economic development and the engine of growth.
He assured that his administration would work towards uniting the nation through regular dialogue by opening various channels of communication, where issues affecting Nigerians would be discussed.
On industrialization, Tinubu stressed the need for having a constant power supply to drive the nation’s economy, saying the industrial policies would be revived to encourage production and move the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to six percent and the agricultural sector encouraged to produce enough food for the nation.
“I am determined to give you affordable and reliable power that will drive the economy. We cannot produce without constant electricity. We will produce power using gas, sun, wind and water. We must produce and buy made-in-Nigeria products”, he said.
