Sanwo-Olu: "Tinubu is the builder of the modern Lagos we are all enjoying today"

Tinubu: "My administration’s priorities would focus on improving human capital development and harnessing energy of the youth through job creation to accelerate economic growth".

Lalong: "Tinubu is a “consummate manager of people and resources” with capacity to change difficult situations"

"The APC LAHA Candidate, Ifako Ijaiye Constituency 02, *Hon. Emmanuel Olotu* supporters were fully present to display Olotu's flag and also show their unwavering supports for the Presidential Candidate of our great party APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Re-election of our workaholic and pragmatic Governor Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu."

The Motorcade departed the airport with crowd of supporters waving at Asiwaju and cheering him up.

The Motorcade drove from the airport through the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway along Oshodi.

He was in front of the vehicle with Shettima, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.

Clad in various shades of APC-branded vests, caps and Ankara brocade, a mass of the party’s supporters, who filled the  stadium to the brim, defied the searing heat from the sun to receive the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), Progressive Governors and the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) team.

The huge turnout at the rally again confirmed Tinubu’s popularity at his political base. The APC presidential candidate hails from Lagos and was a two-term Governor of the State.

Sanwo-Olu opened the floor with his short remarks, thanking Tinubu for laying the foundation for the physical and socio-economic growth being witnessed in Lagos since 1999.

The Governor, who described the APC presidential standard bearer as “architect of modern Lagos”, said Tinubu’s vision, character and tenacity stood him out among presidential contenders, urging Lagosians to elect the candidate with unprecedented number of votes at the polls on Saturday, 25th February, 2023.

Sanwo-Olu said: “Tinubu is the builder of the modern Lagos we are all enjoying today. For implementing his vision through character and tenacity, and pushing his ideas to what we can physically see, our candidate is the best choice for the president.

Aside being a visionary leader, Tinubu has also been an advocate of unity and a figure who has stood firm in support of national cohesion. We are all witnesses to all outstanding achievements to his name. His reputation stands tall among his peers And he is the right man for the job.”

Tinubu took to the podium to share message of “Renewed Hope” with the masses at the rally. He said his administration’s priorities would focus on improving human capital development and harnessing energy of the youth through job creation to accelerate economic growth.

His capacity to lead the country, the APC presidential candidate said is not in doubt, noting that Lagos’ growth trajectory from a State in deficit to one of the six largest economies in Africa best demonstrated his ability to drive the needed change to put the country on the path of prosperity.

When elected, Tinubu said he would do his best to change the country’s fortunes, but noted the task would not be easy at the start.

He said: “I stand before you all with a solemn promise that when we are elected next year, we will continue and build on the progressive path laid forth by our party since 2015. We have a clear agenda for the future of the country and with your support, we will work to achieve a better future for you and your family.

“Nobody will be forgotten when we roll out our development plans. We have great plans for our youths in education and employment. You will not be forgotten, Economic growth is one of our biggest priorities. We will do our best to solve the contemporary challenges facing us, but it will not be easy at the start.”

The APC National Leader passed a vote of confidence on Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, saying the Governor had become a symbol of good governance.

Tinubu said PDP would repeat another outing of failure in Lagos gubernatorial election, stressing that the opposition party did not have enough strength to stop Sanwo-Olu’s re-election

PCC Director-General and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, described Tinubu as a “consummate manager of people and resources” with capacity to change difficult situations.

Lalong said Tinubu’s greatest success as former Lagos governor was his ability to groom brilliant successors that expanded his ideas to the next level.

President Muhammadu Buhari raised the hands of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Sen. Kashim Shettima and Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwoolu as the Party candidates for President, Vice President and Governor of Lagos State respectively.
