Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised to end crime, corruption, and other afflictions if elected.
In Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, on January 17, 2023, Tinubu made this commitment during a rally in support of the APC's presidential candidate.
The state's APC candidate urged his followers to register as voters and cast ballots for each of the party's candidates in the upcoming elections in the state.
He said, “Let me congratulate you for your freedom four years ago, which we are reasserting today. If you’re ready to cement that freedom to democracy, get your PVC to return the party and all its candidates.
“The broom is the symbol of freedom, and with that, we have swept and will continue to sweep corruption, money laundering, and all other vices away, including insecurity, if elected.
“You heard that this will not happen yesterday but you are seeing it now live”.
Tinubu continued, “Don’t vote for anybody but me. We believe in AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. The Governor has done some good jobs and he wants another four years to continue. With your vote and support, that is guaranteed.”
At the gathering, APC National Chairman Senator Abdullahi Adamu urged attendees to vote for all APC candidates in the state to make Tinubu’s transition to the president easier.
“You have given us the confidence to carry on and we hope that what we have seen here today will translate to votes come February 23. Return all the three senators and all other candidates of the APC to ease the work of Asiwaju to serve you if elected,” Adamu said.
There was a massive turnout for Tinubu’s event in Kwara state, as citizens came out to support the APC presidential candidate.
