I’ll create thousands of jobs for youth, if I win — Tinubu tells Bayelsans
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has said that he will create thousands of jobs for Nigerian youth if he becomes the president in 2023.
Tinubu has said that this gesture will renew the hope of the youth.
Tinubu made this declaration on Thursday at the presidential campaign rally of the party in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State.
Tinubu, has condemned the slow rate of development in the state since 1999 to date under the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).
The presidential candidate said Bayelsa too deserves what he (Tinubu) has done in Lagos State.
Tinubu said: “The Poverty Development Party (PDP), you know them, has collected your money since the creation of this state, and couldn’t provide the roads. Where is the job? I will create thousands of expert employment, technical hub to link you to the rest of the world.
“For 24 years in government, they cannot point to one solid road. No road except the only one to get us here. We have to get our brooms to sweep them out in 2023.
“Today, the youths are the new hope; their salvation is here in our party, development is back, happiness is here. We will be able to create jobs. Bayelsa is the most industrious and most blessed with mineral resources of the country but not well explored.
“Tell them enough is enough. They lie too much. They blame everything on the Federal Government while they collect all the money. This is the broom revolution and we have to let us renew the hope of prosperity.”
Chief Timipre Sylva, a stakeholder and leader of the party in the State, said: “Bayelsa is an APC state, though they stole our victory, and that is why they don’t know what they want to do with it. Bayelsa is the second poorest state in the country according to statistics.
“We are talking about a great personality, Senator Tinubu who has a record that nobody can beat. Sometimes, people ask why I am so sure of Tinubu winning, and I ask them who is contesting with him because they don’t have any record. What did Obi do in the eight years in Anambra but we can all say a lot about the eight years of Tinubu and we can still see what is happening in Lagos today.
“Today, we have a youth population that is largely unemployed; who is going to create the opportunity to employ them? Tinubu is the man.
“Atiku’s only mission is to come and sell NNPC, that is why he is asking for one tenure.”
