I will Fix Electricity Crisis, Empower you to Excel – Tinubu Tells Southwest Youth
By Lawan Bukar Maigana
Former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and APC National Leader, has called on the Nigerian youth to give their best to the country and stop complaining about the past.
He made the call in Onikan, Lagos at a rally organised by the youth who are largely from the South-west, to support his presidential bid.

Tinubu said, “We as a nation can conveniently feed ourselves by being creative, visionary, and committed. We cannot continue the lamentation of the past. We cannot continue with excuses of power failure. No nation made rapid development without electricity. Give us power and if we cannot be successful then you can abuse us; you cannot give us an erratic power supply that is undependable and then blame us again that we are lazy.
“Nigeria, it is about time. We have enough gas to generate electricity and supply the rest of Europe and make money. You know it. We don’t want to bore you with it. When I started (as governor of Lagos State), we used to pick bodies on the streets. Today, Lagos is one of the cleanest, most progressive states in the country.”
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, expressed delight over the support Tinubu is getting and urged delegates in the forthcoming primary to exercise their franchise wisely.
The state youth leader, Dr Muritala Seriki, also commended Tinubu for his great contributions to the development of Lagos and described him as an unbiased Nigerian.
