•••Promises massive job opportunities
In what looks like another jab at President Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has stated that he brought the president into power and he will replace him.
Tinubu said this in Osogbo, Osun State capital on Thursday when his campaign train landed in the State.
The former Governor of Lagos State, who spoke in Yoruba, said mentioned the influential role he played to enthrone the APC-led government in 2015, stating that he is set to replace the incumbent president.
“I brought him into power and I’ll replace him. No matter the challenges, we shall go out to vote and I’ll emerge the next president of this country.”
Speaking on his agenda for Nigeria, Tinubu said his administration will create job opportunities and ensure that students have access to soft loans during their periods of study.
“I make a social covenant with you today that the unemployed among you will get job. Those with no skill will be provided the relevant skill that would put food on their table. When we get to government, we will make soft loans available for market women and business owners.”
Taking a swipe at the current Peoples Democratic Party government of Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osun State for poor governance of the state, the APC presidential candidate charged the people that APC administration will soon return to continue the good work.
“They were given a little opportunity to rule for some months and they started misbehaving, killing and creating unrest in Osun state.”
On his plans for Osun, Tinubu noted that the state, which is highly blessed with diverse resources, should be a destination for business and tourism across the country, promising to help achieve this if he becomes the president.
He said, “Osun is a beautiful state filled with virtuous, industrious and welcoming people. We will support Osun to become a manufacturing, industrial, agricultural and tourism paradise.
“You have fertile soil, abundant mineral resources, and a rich culture and history capable of attracting tourists from across the world.
“A vote for me is a vote to develop all parts of this state and this country. Rural areas will not be forgotten but will be developed to support more economic activities and create better lives for the people.
“At the same time, our growing urban population – you city boys – will enjoy decent jobs and a living wage.”
