2023: We’II Redefine Economy, Provide Jobs for Youths – Tinubu Tells Osun Electorate
POLITICS DIGEST – The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said he will do everything possible to redefine the nation’s economy and provide jobs for teeming Nigerian youths.
Speaking at the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo, Osun state capital for his campaign rally, Tinubu vowed to support students of poor folks with loans to achieve university education.
Accompanied by the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore; Governor Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano State); Governor Dapo Abiodun (Ogun State); Immediate past Ekiti and Osun Governors, John Kayode Fayemi and Adegboyega Oyetola respectively; and a host of other stalwarts, Tinubu said that the state of the the nation’s economy needs an informed mind, highly competent individual with the required requisite administrative prowess to consolidate on the gains recorded by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu, who had earlier held a meeting with the traditional rulers in Osun before heading for the venue of the rally, assured the youths of his readiness to create jobs through the establishment of manufacturing companies in every nook and cranny of the country, saying that he is skilled on how to squeeze water out the rocks.
He called on Nigerians, particularly Osun residents, who have not collected their Permanent Voter’s Cards, to go and do so as that remains the only power they have to elect him and other candidates of the party.
