Tinubu Reveals New Funding Plan To Stop Poverty If Elected As Nigerian President

All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday unveiled a funding plan for infrastructure revolution in the Southsouth geo-political zone.

He assured stakeholders from the zone that it is possible to build Nigeria in difficult times and achieve monumental feats.

Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, stormed Calabar, capital of Cross River State, for a town hall meeting on national transformation and industrialization of the region.

Yesterday, Tinubu’s wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and Governors Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano), Aminu Masari (Katsina) and Nasiru El-Rufai (Kaduna), wooed the Northern Christians for Tinubu/Shettima ticket in Kaduna.

At the Calabar parley, Tinubu, who also reconciled warring chieftains in the state, said he had an edge over his rivals because of his honesty and sincerity of purpose.

Stressing that moving Nigeria forward is a task that must be accomplished, the APC candidate said: “I am a progressive. Progressives are the ones to drive Nigeria forward. We will work with a team of visioners, intellectuals, and committed ones that can build our country.”

On how he intends to fund infrastructure development, Tinubu said: “We create long-term money and face it squarely.

“Change the fiscal confusion between monetary policy and fiscal policy. Be accountable, and block the loopholes. Untangle the bottlenecks; accelerate processing, answer questions; timely regularisation of money and treasury notes amongst others.”

Tinubu also promised to stop poverty in Nigeria, if elected in 2023.

He said that he would deploy all the human and material resources God had bestowed on the country to move it out of poverty.

The presidential candidate, who noted that education remained the greatest tool to fight poverty, said each state of the federation was blessed with abundant natural resources, all of which would be deployed in changing the fortune of the country.

He, however, pointed out that in doing that, there was the need for people to remain united and stop the destruction of what God had deposited in the country to enhance its greatness.

Tinubu said: “My quest to progressively drive Nigeria forward is the only reason I am running; no other person is running with me.

“Those who say they are running have no iota of honesty in them; they can’t keep to their promises; all they are interested in is to insult me and yet, they don’t have facts.

“I am a wrestler, but I don’t wrestle with just anybody; my only concern is to move Nigeria forward.”

The former Lagos governor decried the slow pace of growth and development in the country, adding that his administration would turn around its fortune.

He promised to unite Nigerians and to ensure steady growth and progress.

Tinubu added: “Moving Nigeria forward is a task that must be done, and anger, division, breaking apart will not solve it; it can only be achieved by being together.

“Let us conquer hunger rather than allowing hunger to conquer us. So, let’s come together and make great wealth for the nation and our people.”
