All Progressives Congress (APC)’s national leader and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said he joined the race for the presidency in order to renew the hope and make the future great for the future generation.
He spoke at the palace of the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Adeyemo Adejugbe, on Thursday as part of the ongoing consultation for his presidential election ambition.
He said, “We have struggled for democracy and today, we have democracy, but we are not stable yet. There is insecurity, hopelessness, lack of education and suffering in the land. By now, we should have a good farming system and opportunities to produce for other nations to buy.
“We are here to answer the call of our children by educating them the right way so that we can leave a Nigeria that is united, prosperous and abundant for them. We chose democracy and we must not fail in this task.
“That was why we formed the APC based on principles. I want to tell you that Nigeria needs serious change. I knew how Lagos was when I took over and we have never failed any election. There must be continuity in governance for progress to be attained.
“I was the first governor in Nigeria to start paying the WAEC fee of secondary school students. I shall do it again as a President.”
