Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, has the capacity to solve Nigeria’s economic and political challenges.
Mr Sanwo-Olu said this on Tuesday at Victoria Island during an interactive session by Mr Tinubu and his team with industrialists, business executives, entrepreneurs and foreign investors in Lagos.
The interaction was an avenue for the APC standard-bearer to share details of his economic blueprint with the organised private sector.
The Lagos governor stated that Mr Tinubu’s meeting with the organised private sector players demonstrated the APC candidate’s commitment and seriousness to drive the desired change expected in the national economy.
“Asiwaju Tinubu is a man that has been able to combine political acumen with the understanding of the economy and economics of every jurisdiction. As governor of Lagos, Tinubu pioneered several firsts, which still stand today. During Asiwaju’s tenure, he initiated the idea of the economic summit as a catalyst for economic development,” explained Mr Sanwo-Olu. “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.”
The presidential candidate’s protege added, “Under the Tinubu leadership, Lagos became the first sub-national entity to bring about the Independent Power Project (IPP) and (the) first state to initiate the idea of establishing a seaport. Yesterday (Monday), that vision came to fruition as we witnessed the completion of (the) Lekki Deep Seaport. This speaks to the sheer doggedness and audacity of this man of vision.”
Mr Sanwo-Olu describes the APC candidate as “compassionate, intelligent, and business-driven.”
“I present to you the man that has what it takes to lead this country forward to the prosperous future with renewed hope,” said the Lagos governor.
