…Promises To Make Anambra One Of The Nation’s Economic Nerve Centres
The foremost presidential candidate in the country and respected national leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has promised to stand by his campaign promises when he emerges unlike his counterpart in the Labour Party Peter Obi who, like the biblical Peter, has the tendency of reneging on his promises.
The former Lagos state governor spoke on Tuesday at Dr Alex Ekwueme square in Awka, Anambra State in the continuation of his nationwide electioneering.
Tinubu promised to sustainably handle the perennial erosion challenge in the state like he tackled the Lagos Atlantic ocean.
He said he was not like the one they called Peter in the Bible that denied Christ three times before the cock crowed in the morning.
According to him: “What that means is that I’m a thinker, I’m smart and I’m a doer.”
Speaking further Tinubu assured youths of job opportunities, promising to convert the State into one of the nation’s economic centres.
Tinubu said: “We want to make Anambra a memorable productive state in memory of our own friend, Chuba Okadigbo and our Governor General, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, (Onwa Imo).
“I’m here today to publicize the promise of development we made, the exploration and industrialization Anambra is known for.
“You know me, the Lagos boy, I tamed the Atlantic ocean; the same way we will check erosion in Anambra.
“We’ll make the value of your property one thousand times your investment. We’ll create jobs for our youth, industrialize and make the state one of the economic centres.
“We’re not like other parties. When they bring up their lies again, ask them how long it will take their lies to travel from Port Harcourt to Onitsha, to Aba.
“For 16 years, PDP lied, sharing our assets among themselves in the name of privatisation.
“The city boy is here, joy, happiness, prosperity and good employment are here. Just make sure your PVC is intact. With me in Lagos, I didn’t discriminate. Your PVC is your mandate.
“When Atiku said he is the only candidate from the north. Is that not a division among us? When I started paying WAEC for students, I didn’t discriminate, I paid for everybody, whether Christian or Muslim.”
While asking the people of the State to vote for him like they overwhelmingly voted for Soludo, Tinubu promised not to disappoint them.
“I brought your son and made him my friend. I didn’t say he’s not a Muslim. Instead, he became the economic adviser to Buhari.
“He’s Charles Soludo, I salute his vision, he’s a brilliant man, he a thinker, he knows the way, we’ll work together, inclusively.
“When I’ll become the President. The way you voted for Soludo is the way you’ll vote for me. The man who led here, that call himself Peter Obi, just like the biblical Peter, who denied Jesus before the cock crew three times, will deny all the promises he made you,” he added
