• Declares former VP is a bottled water seller, not businessmanThe presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress , Senator Bola Tinubu yesterday assured business leaders in the country that if elected in the February 2023 election, he would phase out Nigeria’s controversial petroleum subsidy regime.
He wondered why him that has six cars would still be paying same amount for petrol as some that doesn’t have any car. “Through active participation in the digital economy, we shall make Nigeria a leader, instead of a bystander, in the fourth industrial revolution. Tinubu added that the country must be enabled to produce and buy made-in-Nigeria goods through infrastructure development and consumer credit.
He added that Nigeria’s response to terror, kidnapping, and violent criminality would be defined by the following elements: enlisting of “more people in the armed forces, security services and the police. He said, “We turned this Lagos into a safer, more prosperous place where people can go about any legitimate vocation or venture regardless of their ethnicity, religion, region or prior social station.
In his own remarks, the APC vice presidential candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima, told the business leaders that his joint ticket with Tinubu was not promising them “heaven on earth, but we are promising a hope for a better tomorrow” attainable through respect for the sanctity of contract and rule of law. Shettima said this would help to attract foreign direct investment to Nigeria.
According to Shettima, Atiku is more of Raila Odinga and not Abraham Lincoln of the United States of America. Chairman of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote; foremost entrepreneur and investor, Tony Elumelu; and founder of Zenith Bank, Mr. Jim Ovia, were among leading business leaders that graced the event.
“He started in Lagos with the Ehingbeti Summit in 2001. That summit has continued to lead the successive administrations after him into various applaudable economic agendas.
