Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state, and presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that he would make Edo state as “beautiful” as Lagos state if he becomes president of the country in 2023.
He made this revelation on Saturday while meeting with APC delegates in Edo state, ahead of the presidential primary election of the party.
Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the party, and Ize Iyamu, 2020 governorship candidate of the party, were present at the meeting.
The National Leader of the party said, “I’ll deliver my message through Adam and the message will not disappoint you. We are still going to fight further. Don’t worry. We are with you. You will not walk alone,” he said.
“I have to rush back for the good of us all. It’s either I come back another day or we wait until you come to Abuja.
“I am going to do our job, in our interest, for the sake of all of us, our country and for the benefit and prosperity of all of us.
“Nobody can supercede the work of the Almighty; you cannot be superior to the work of God.
“One thing I can assure you is this: Do you want Edo back? As the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will give Edo back to you. Edo will turn to a beautiful [state] — if not more beautiful — [and] will be equal to Lagos. Be assured of that.”
