“I believe in myself, I’m smart, intelligent and courageous, don’t make mistakes, choose wisely, choose me, I beg you and you will never regret supporting me,” he said.
He promised to tackle insecurity, revamp the economy, and provide good roads to enable farmers to bring their produce to market so as to diversify the economy.
Tinubu further said that he would develop and make the agricultural sector more lucrative, the country needs the formation of a commodity exchange mechanism.
While earlier canvassing support for the APC leader, Governor Ganduje said it was pay-back time, adding that Tinubu worked assiduously for the growth of the APC.
”We are supporting you because you’re the first to support us. You supported us when we were not in any position to pay you back. You gave us your word once and you’ve never backslid. In you, we see character, we see trust, we see integrity, we see friendship and we see brotherhood,” he said.
At the meeting with the delegates, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Doguwa, raised the motion for Tinubu’s endorsement, and put it to a voice vote, which was returned in the affirmative.
