Transforming Nigeria’s economy to greatness my topmost priority – Tinubu
Sen. Bola Tinubu, All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, on Saturday, vowed to use his wealth of experience to transform the nation’s economy to greatness if elected president.
He made the pledge while addressing crowd of people who converged at Haliru Abdu Stadium, Birnin Kebbi to welcome him to Kebbi State.
The APC presidential candidate was in Kebbi with his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, Governors; Simon Lalong, Plateau, Abdullahi Umar-Ganduje, Kano, Babagana Zulum, Borno and Badaru Abubakar, Jigawa States for a presidential rally.
Tinubu said: “I promise to give the greatest and the best of economy if elected in the upcoming general elections.”
He also promised to turn the famous Argungu Fishing Festival into the best tourist attraction festival not only in Nigeria but across Africa.
The flag-bearer appealed to all to remain united and peaceful, observing that despite the fact that “some people are very angry, yet, we must come together and salvage the nation using our PVCs.
“If voted into power, we will make sure that we replace violence and poverty with peace and agricultural machinery as well as manage the nation’s economy to prosperity.”
In his speech, the APC National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu said: “I want to assure you that Kebbi has done well, we are proud of you because you have shown to us that the state is for APC.”
Adamu urged them to translate the crowd into votes come Feb. 25 by voting APC from top to bottom.
The National Chairman then presented the party flag to Kebbi State APC gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Nasiru Idris and prayed for his victory at polls.
Earlier, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), said President Muhammadu Buhari had executed many developmental and infrastructure projects in the country, adding that Tinubu had mentored many politicians of acumen and ingenuity.
He added that Gov. Atiku Bagudu had transformed the agricultural fortunes of the state, saying, “Bagudu has brought Tinubu and Alhaji Nasiru Idris to the state and we will surely vote for them in order for Tinubu and Idris to inherit Buhari and Bagudu’s legacies.”

Idris pledged to continue with Bagudu legacy and even improve upon if voted into power in Match 11 governorship and state assembly election.
