The presidential flag Bearer of All Progressives Congress (APC) – Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu has declared that if elected president of Nigeria, his administration would invest heavily on the education sector
According to him, ” this huge investment in the Nation’s Education Sector would help tackle the perennial crisis between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government.”
Speaking at a one day presidential campaign rally in Owerri Imo state capital Tuesday, Bola Tinubu noted that proper funding of the nation’s tertiary institutions would also checkmate further disruption of the education callendar of the country
He however, castigated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alleging that it took the nation several years backward in growth and development through mal administration
Tinubu recalled what he described as ” the recent confessional statement of the national chairman of the party senator Iyorchia Ayu that the party indeed failed the nation while in power ”
According to him, ” this confessional statement the national chairman of the party is enough reason for the electorate to reject the party at the polls.”
“As a president, I will maintain the incorruptible principles of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and I am not in the presidential race to seek the good things of life but to ensure efficient and prudent management of the nation’s resources and with me as president, the peace and unity of our country will remain intact while I will work with the various states to eliminate violence and man’s inhumanity to man”.he stressed
Describing the APC as the most dynamic, progressive and focused party in black Africa, the APC presidential contender added that while shackles of poverty, ignorance and falsehood will be adequately taken care off by his administration, honesty, integrity and dependability which are the hall marks of the Buhari administration would remain sacrosanct.
The Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) and governor of Plateau state Simon Lalong represented by a former national chairman of the party Adams Oshimhole commended governor Hope Uzodinma for moving the state forward through the provision of massive rural and urban infrastructure and urged Imo electorate to vote for all candidates of the party.
Also speaking, the national chairman of the party Senator Abdullahi Adamu said that as a strong hold of the APC, the party was optimistic of winning the election in Imo.
He hailed governor Uzodinma for demonstrating courage leadership and charisma in governance, saying, “I am sure that you all have obtained your PVC which is your AK 47” to reject false prophets in sheep’s clothings at the polls.

“We will show you love both in spirit and in action and you will have nothing to worry, Imo is APC and APC is Imo and we are happy that you have been able to manage insecurity in Imo and in the Southeast”
