To all Nigerians, I will be president. tells Yoruba Muslims, Tinubu
Bola Tinubu, the candidate for president of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said again on Sunday that he was committed to making sure justice was done and retooling the economy for the good of all Nigerians.
A release from the Tinubu Media Office, signed by Tunde Rahman, says that the former governor of Lagos State said this in Ibadan as part of his ongoing conversations with national religious leaders and organizations.
The APC standard bearer also complimented religious leaders in the nation for their ongoing prayers and sermons, which he observed had helped to foster unity and peaceful coexistence, during a Town Hall meeting with Muslim Leaders from the South West in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
Tinubu asked the Islamic clerics to tell their followers how important it is to use their right to vote and choose only qualified candidates with a track record of good public service, “and not fall for the lies and gimmicks of those who have nothing to offer.” He called the upcoming general elections in 2023 “Nigeria’s momentous encounter with destiny.”
“This election season has been a combination of facts and fabrication, truth and lies,” remarked Tinubu, who spoke in parts of Yoruba. I want the election to be decided by the truth and the facts.
“What are a candidate’s performance history and platform?” I beg you to encourage your supporters to cast informed ballots at the polls. Choose a candidate who has a vision for a tolerant and compassionate Nigeria where our legal and constitutional rights are supported.
The leading candidate for the 2023 Presidential Election promised Nigerians that he would be “a fair and just leader.” He also said that his commitment to fairness and justice was in line with Islamic teachings.
“A leader must be a leader of all in a diverse society like ours.”If elected, I will lead in accordance with the constitution of our country in an honest and democratic manner.
Tinubu was praised for how well he ran Lagos State as governor, and he promised to use that experience to lead Nigeria with the “same spirit of creativity and pragmatic vision to lift the nation and renew Nigerians’ hope.”
When it comes to security, Tinubu promised to put an end to the reign of terror, kidnappings, and other violent crimes by hiring more people who would be taught and retrained, as well as by providing additional security tools and devices for an effective fight against criminal elements.
According to Tinubu, the country’s economy would be diversified and reorganized to achieve at least 6% annual growth. These objectives would be accomplished by significant financial reforms, improvements to our infrastructure, revisions to our industrial strategy, and innovation in the power sector.
“With regard to the economy, our goal is to fix the economy’s fundamental structure.” Our economy can no longer thrive on the exploitation of natural resources.
“We must develop into a vibrant, diverse economy where individuals seeking employment can locate rewarding positions.” But let’s also strive to be a society that is kind enough to assist those who are unable to assist themselves.
“In order to generate jobs and produce the commodities and services that enhance the daily lives of the average citizen, we must reinvigorate manufacturing and industrial growth.”
In his speech to Muslim leaders, Tinubu said, “We aim for at least 6% growth every year through reform of our industrial strategy, improvement of our infrastructure, innovation in the power sector, and significant budgetary reform.”
To ensure that no kid goes to bed without food to eat, Asiwaju Tinubu made a commitment to the agricultural sector to promote food security through increased production and higher farm incomes.
“At the end of the day, may no Nigerian parent put a hungry child to bed, fearing what tomorrow may bring.” Instead, let all of our children be able to go to bed with the prospect of a brighter tomorrow, regardless of their faith or creed.
Alhaji Rasaki Oladejo, the president of MUSWEN, welcomed Tinubu to the meeting and said that it was a chance for the APC candidate to talk with the Muslim leaders of the South West about his plans for the country if he was elected, “especially about how he could make the country a land of great opportunities where no man will be oppressed.”
According to Sheikh Ahmad Abdulrahman, national chief missioner of the Anwar-ur-Deen Movement, the assembly was not intended to support Aswáj or any other candidate.
But to find out if Asiwaju Tinubu can still serve as the nation’s leader as he did as the governor of Lagos State,
Tinubu went to the meeting with the South West leaders with Dr. Femi Hamzat, the deputy governor of Lagos State, Senator Teslim Folarin, Dimeji Bankole, the APC candidate for governor of Oyo State, Hadiza Bala Usman, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, and many other current and former members of the National Assembly.
The APC candidate previously addressed bishops from Pentecostal churches in the 19 northern states, as well as the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, in which he delivered the same speech he delivered to Muslim leaders in the South West.
He had promised the Christian leaders that, if elected, he would lead a government that was open to all Nigerians, regardless of their ethnicity or religious beliefs.
