If elected president in the election on February 25, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate, has pledged to turn Anambra into the nation's industrial centre.
During a speech to APC supporters on Tuesday in Awka during a presidential campaign rally, Tinubu made this statement.
In addition, he pledged to guarantee all-around growth and give Nigerians better-paying jobs.
Additionally, the South-issue East's gully erosion was one of the promises made by the APC presidential candidate.
“The broom revolution will make Anambra a highly developed state in line with the dream of late Dr Chubs Okadigbo and Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo,” he said.
Tinubu said as the governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007 that he paid external examination fees for all the state students in secondary schools, irrespective of creed and tribe.
“I will replicate what I did in Lagos State in terms of development of the country, every section will get their fair share,” he said.
Tinubu advised APC supporters to ensure they obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) and vote for all candidates of the party during the 2023 general election.
Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo who also addressed APC supporters said he was overwhelmed by the crowd of supporters at the rally and charged the organisers to ensure they replicate the same during the general election.
Chief Basil Ejidike, the state APC chairman, said APC members were working round the clock to ensure the victory of the party in the general election.
Rep. Chinedu Ogah (APC-Ebonyi) told NAN at the sideline of the rally at Ekwueme Square, Awka, that the political future of the South-East was better with APC.
Ogah, who represents Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency of Ebonyi, and member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council called on the people to vote for Tinubu in the Feb. 25 poll.
“The South-East will have a fair share in the scheme of things, with Tinubu as the president, I urge our people not to be deceived on the altar of social media propaganda,” he said.
NAN report that Tinubu was accompanied on the campaign tour by the Director-General of his campaign council and Gov. Simeon Lalong of Plateau, Mrs Margery Okadigbo, Chairman, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) among others. (NAN)
