Tinubu: I’ll Resettle Benue IDPs, Clear Backlog of Workers’ Salaries *Accuses PDP of sabotaging fuel supply George Okoh in Makurd The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has promise
The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress , Bola Tinubu, has promised to resettle all Internally Displaced Persons in Benue State camps if elected president in the February 25 presidential election.
From his prepared speech, which he did not read at the rally, Tinubu highlighted his achievements in Lagos State as governor, saying the Benue people should vote him. He insisted that the workers would not be owed salaries. Taking a swipe at his PDP rival, Atiku Abubakar, and asking about his source of wealth, Tinubu stated, “Atiku said he is a transporter as a custom officer but forgot that the only business you can do as a civil servant is farming.”
“They met good oil prices for 16 good years, they didn’t remember gas pipelines, they are what I called saboteurs yesterday. They gave PMS license to their supporters and sympathisers. They are the ones who started creating fake queues. PDP, enough is enough,” Tinubu said of Atiku and PDP. “Working with the state government, we will encourage mining in the state in a regulated and sustainable way that benefits your communities and gives the labourer a just wage for his daily work. Limestone, lead, tin, and marble will be extracted and sold in Nigerian and foreign markets to stimulate the economy and enrich the people.
