“Let’s build a peaceful, successful and violence-free Nigeria. Poverty and unemployment have no tribal markings,” she said.
Speaking about the electricity supply in the country, he said that no nation can develop without electricity, adding that “we have enough gas to feed our electricity in Nigeria.”
“Nothing and no one will deter us from doing what is necessary to establish a progressive, honest and compassionate democratic government on this earth.”
Speaking earlier, Governor Sanwo-Olu assured young people of inclusion and accommodation if they give Mr. Tinubu their vote.
“Asiwaju Tinubu will support the youth of this country. The young will not be forgotten. They will always have a place in government if Asiwaju Tinubu is elected president,” he said.
The governor added that APC delegates among the assembled youth must ensure that they cast their votes during the party’s presidential primaries and elect Mr. Tinubu as their candidate.
