| APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu |
Reactions trailed the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu’s promises to Nigerians if elected president in 2023.
Tinubu had on Thursday released an 80-page policy document that highlights an eight-point agenda.
Below are 10 promises of the former Lagos State governor contained in the manifesto.
1. Build a Nigeria, especially for our youth, where sufficient jobs with decent wages create a better life.
2. Manufacture, create, and invent more of the goods and services we require. Nigeria shall be known as a nation of creators, not just of consumers.
3. Export more and import less, strengthening both the naira and our way of life.
4. Continue assisting our ever-toiling farmers, through enlightened agricultural policy that promotes productivity and assures decent incomes, so that farmers can support their families and feed the nation.
5. Modernise and expand public infrastructure so that the rest of the economy can grow at an optimal rate.
6. Embolden and support our young people and women by harnessing emerging sectors such as the digital economy, entertainment and culture, tourism and others to build the Nigeria of tomorrow, today.
7. Train and give economic opportunity to the poorest and most vulnerable among us. We seek a Nigeria where no parent is compelled to send a child to bed hungry, worried whether tomorrow shall bring food.
8. Generate, transmit and distribute sufficient, affordable electricity to give our people the requisite power to enlighten their lives, their homes, and their very dreams.
9. Make basic healthcare, education, and housing accessible and affordable for all.
10. And, most importantly, establish a bold and assertive policy that will create a strong yet adaptive national security architecture and action to obliterate terror, kidnapping, banditry, and all other forms of violent extremism from the face of our nation.
Reacting, some Nigerians on social media said they have already made up their minds to flush out bad leaders in the forthcoming election.
See the reactions below:
Nweke Jacob Ofobuike, "😂😂🤣😁 APC is now campaigning to rescue Nigeria from APC 🤣😂😂"
Godbring Aleva, "Congratulations on your manifesto.There is a saying once beaten twice shy,for you to have said you were going to build on the legacies of Buhari simply shows that you have nothing to offer.In other words,you have successfully failed even before beginning.we will not vote you period.Our mumu don do."
Chioma Chinyere, "Imagine APC to rescue Nigerians from the same APC government. If by chance Tinubu win to become the next president of Nigeria, none of you will even see fuel to power your generator. Everyone will be going to Cotonou to charge their phone, then you will see the true meaning of hunger.
* This is a man that said that he is not interested about the exchange rate."
Alaba Olusegun Olanrewaju, "Maybe he will fulfill all promises if he wins but for now I line up behind Peter Obi"
Seun Olawoyin, "I can't even see anything interesting in these promises except point three, which they copied from Peter Obi's agenda to move Nigeria from a consumption to a production nation.
The ancestor just changed production to creation.
Why is it that anything Peter Obi and the Obedient do, they copy? We did one million marches. They also forced market women to shut down the market and paid Agbero to do the same.
After Obi visited Dunamis and the RCCG camp, they too organized fake bishops and paid them 5k.
Now that Obi has visited Gumi and the floor victims, they will soon do the fake version."
Adeyinka Olufola, "There were so many promises made when he campaigned for buhari, the opposite of them all was fulfilled. Congrats"
