The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said his vision is to become the president of a united Nigeria.
Tinubu spoke when he paid a courtesy call on the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde in Ibadan on Thursday.
He said, “I am aspiring to be the president of a united Nigeria, one country. For that sake, political divides and things that separate us must be clearly taken off our way.
“That is why my first point of call is to visit the Chief Executive and Chief Security Officer of the State. And that is why I came to give you an insight into why we are in Oyo state. Thank you for your good reception. It is not easy to take the opposition entourage into your shade.”

Responding, Governor Makinde who is of the PDP said he and his colleagues under the aegis of G-5 Integrity Group, would vote equity, justice, fairness and unity on February 25.
Meanwhile, a statement by Tinubu Media Office, signed by Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, said Tinubu had, during the campaign rally in Ibadan, after meeting with Makinde, promised the people of Oyo State that his administration’s agriculture policy would be of benefit to the people if elected.
He urged the people of the state to partner with him to quicken the pace of economic development in the areas of job creation among others.
He said, “My plans for you and for Nigeria are beneficial and good. They speak of a better tomorrow of sufficient jobs, sufficient food, sufficient money and sufficient fairness and opportunity such that you will be able to realize your dearest dreams as long as you are willing to work toward them.
“Oyo will straddle the timeline between the best of our past and the greatness of our awaiting future. It will reach back into the best of our traditions to showcase our art, culture and way of life to the rest of the world.”
