The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, weekend, declared he was not sick but hale and hearty.
He also noted that the presidential race is not a wrestling bout, wondering why the opposition keeps insisting he is sick.
Tinubu, who stated this at a dinner organised in his honour by the Kano business community in Kano, said: “I’m neither running for a 100-yard nor a 500-yard race; neither am I competing in WWE wrestling. I’m running for the presidency which is a knowledge-driven job. I am very healthy. Do I look sick?”
Tinubu, whose mission in Kano was to inaugurate the APC governorship and presidential campaign offices, announced the donation of N100 million to flood victims in the state.
He said the donation is aimed at alleviating the sufferings of the victims in the affected local government areas of the state.
He, however, called for sustained prayers to end flood disasters in the state and across the nation.
Tinubu noted that the federal government had taken several measures to build infrastructure and improve the ease of doing business across the country, promising that if elected, he would ensure that Nigeria’s diversity serves as a source of prosperity for all.
“Unity in diversity, peace and prosperity are the fulcrum of my mission in this contest,” he said.
He also pledged to reposition existing industries and make them a competitive source of industrialisation and growth, not just for the North or Kano, but the entire country.
Tinubu commended the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for his stride in infrastructure development.
Tinubu, who described Ganduje as a “friend and a reliable partner”, said the relationship between Kano and Lagos dated back years of similarities between the two economic giants.
He also promised the business community that he will provide enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the state and thanked it for the honour and promised to look into their blueprint if elected.
“If we win the election, we will call your representatives and see how we can move the nation forward,” he said.
The APC presidential candidate further promised that he will ensure that Nigeria’s diversity serves as a source of prosperity for all when he gets into power.
“Unity in diversity, peace and prosperity are the fulcrum of my mission in this contest,” he said.
While assuring the business community that the document will not be tampered with, Tinubu said when he wins the 2023 presidential election, he will implement the document.
The Kano business community had used the occasion to present a blueprint for their demands if Tinubu eventually clinched the presidential seat.
