The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has promised that the situation of security in the country would increase under the party’s watch.
Tinubu stated this on Wednesday during a campaign rally in Kano.
He said, “We can make Nigeria better, safer and more prosperous. We can educate our youths, feed our people, and put an end to fear. We can do these things. We can move you forward. But the others cannot. They want to hold you back so that only they can move forward.
“They offer nothing but fake promises and easy answers that hold no water. All they can show you is how to hate your fellow Nigerian and reject your neighbour. They cannot show you how to protect our society, feed our people, provide jobs and care for those in true need of help.
“We must march forward but we cannot forget how they frittered away our commonwealth. For 16 years, they toyed with our lives and the future of this country. They spent $16 bn on electricity, but they procured darkness instead. They didn’t remember the pipelines and processing facilities to give us electricity. They shared the electricity generation money among themselves and their cronies.”

According to Tinubu, the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot be trusted to keep promises.
“Tell me, how will they keep their promise to the nation? No wonder, their party is in tatters! Governor Wike was right when he talked about a lack of integrity.
“The PDP and its candidate do not have your interests at heart. They do not mean well for you; they do not mean well for the country. They mouthed Green Revolution, but their regime only worked to increase food importation bills for 16 years. What they understand is a ‘consumption economy’ not a ‘production-based economy’.”
