Presidential Candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, says he knows how to fix the economy of the nation better than other candidates.

He said this Wednesday in Lokoja, capital of Kogi state, during his presidential campaign rally.

“I know how to do it. I’m a road runner, a better candidate. A man who knows roads. A man who knows how to develop money. A man who keeps promises,” he said.

He said many were raising eyebrows over his alarm on the hardships occasioned by the new policy of the redesigned naira notes, noting that he had been vindicated by the supreme court ruling to that effect.

Tinubu whose campaign trail landed in the state by 4 pm stressed further that the state is endowed with adequate mineral resources at commercial value, adding that he would turn it around and make it an industrial hub centre of the nation.

While stating that Ajaokuta Iron and Steel company in the state will be revived fully, he added that dredging of river Niger, industrialisation and agricultural production would be pursued vigorously to create jobs in the society.

“Hope is here. Ajaokuta resuscitation will be done. Dredging of the Niger River will be done. Agriculture will be the source of our prosperity. North-central has the potential for great mineral industrialisation; we will work on that,” he said.

“They even rejoiced when you cannot sell your products. You will never see hardship in your lives. You will see prosperity, you will see progress.

“This is your determination; I want you to multiply it. On the 25th of February, there will be a vote for the president, senators, and the House of representatives members. It is in your hands now.

“But we have come to remind you, whether by Keke Napep or by bicycle or even with your legs, you should go there in the morning. Cast your vote and be vigilant. Do your part; play your own role.

“I guarantee you I know how to do it. I am smarter than their candidate. I am the frontrunner, the best candidate. I know the road. I am a man who knows how to develop wealth, a man who keeps promises.”

In his remarks, the state governor, Yahaya Bello, described the APC flag bearer as a man of many parts.

Bello added that when Tinubu becomes President, “There will be money, jobs, infrastructure and the Ajaokuta steel company will be in order. Insecurity which has bedeviled the nation will be steamed.”
