Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for president, claimed that despite the fact that many Nigerians are suffering hungry, President Muhammadu Buhari has set the nation on the way to prosperity.
Inaugurating the Kolmani Integrated Development Project (KIPRO), which is situated on the border between the states of Bauchi and Gombe, was when Tinubu made his statements on Tuesday.
The president officially "flagged off" KIPRO to the applause of a group of VIPs.
Buhari would be regarded favourably by future generations since he was a war veteran who had returned to save his country during a time of crisis, according to the former governor of Lagos.
“History will be very kind to you because you are in the class of great retired generals who came to rescue their country,” Tinubu said, referring to the criticisms made by the media.
“We may be hungry, but we can manage our hunger; we don’t want to kill each other. Today, you gave us a path to prosperity, a path to success.
“The only thing that I may want to exclude and argue about is the West and Europe. They use our coal and fuel to develop their economy and ask us to be conscious, but I like your answer.
“We cannot stay hungry and starve to death. We have to take care of ourselves unless they pay compensation to us; that is where we stand.”
The presidential candidate has promised that if he is elected, he will “recharge” Lake Chad to combat hunger and insurgency.
“Anytime we discuss the lack of food and the challenges of terrorism, you will talk about Lake Chad. Okay, let me assure you, if I’m elected the president, I will recharge Lake Chad,” he said.
