reports that all is set for the ruling All Progressives Congress to commence its campaign in full force following the recent inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council and the unveiling of an 80-page Action Plan of its flagbearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
His words: ‘’All ministers, permanent secretaries and heads of agencies must remain focused in the discharge of their duties, as any infraction will be viewed seriously.Our collective goal is to map out a transition plan for the incoming Administration to ensure proper documentation of all the Policies, Programmes and Projects of Government with up-to-date status of implementation.”
He said: “Let me add that I joyfully accept the position of the chairman of the campaign council we are unveiling today. Our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is too well known for his capacity and can-do spirit. He stands tall in his track records as a democrat, a champion of the rule of law, a man at home in every part of our country, and a truly visionary leader.
He noted that the Action Plan passed through a rigorous process of review and scrutiny at all levels of leadership of the party and also got the endorsement of the President, Tinubu, and his running mate. He stressed that the PCC was elated by the zeal and desire of party members across the nation and the diaspora to serve in one position or the other during the campaigns.
Nevertheless, the director-general said despite the fact that the ruling party was confident of victory because of its records of achievements and the growing acceptance it continues to enjoy across the country, the PCC would not take anything to chance. Lalong called on all party faithful to be committed to this mandate and remain focused on the goal of ensuring that APC retains power at the federal and state levels. This, he said, would require a lot of sacrifices by members, while urging them to put aside personal or sectional interests and focus on the goal, which is to win the elections with an unprecedented wide margin in the history of elections in Nigeria.
According to her: “The expectations on us were too high. People expected so much from us and maybe after seven years we have not done to their expectations. Only God knows what is in somebody’s mind, as human beings, you can’t just say you are right or you have done what you should do. He said: “We shall phase out the fuel subsidy yet maintain the underlying social contract between government and the people. We do this by dedicating the money that would have been used on the subsidy to fund targeted infrastructural, agricultural and social welfare programs ranging from road construction, to boreholes, public transportation subsidies, education and healthcare funding programs.”
Tinubu also assured that his government would increase crude oil production to 2.6mbpd by 2027 and 4mbpd by 2030 if elected. He added that to increase domestic crude production, there was a need to have greater success in deterring crude oil theft and preventing vandalism of pipelines, crude infrastructure and assets.
