Tinubu made this claim on Tuesday, May 17, in Makurdi, Benue state when he appealed to APC delegates to vote for him during the ruling party's primary.
The former governor vowed to replicate what he did in Lagos when he was in office and noted that his aim is to harness the resources of Nigeria to bring about prosperity for all.
His promise:
“I will bring the experience of my leadership in Lagos state as a Governor to bear on my leadership style in Nigeria when elected president of the country.
“And I guarantee you that I will run a transparent, open government as President. Nigeria is rich, what we need is to redirect our resources and channel them in the right direction."
Expected turnaround for Benue's agriculture
Speaking on the mode of agriculture in the state, Tinubu, as quoted by a Leadership publication, said:
“I see no reason why Benue as the food basket of the country will still be engaging in a crude way of farming without processing plants, research institutes for improved and mechanized agriculture and my becoming the president in 2023 will rekindle the hope of Nigerians and bring back the lost glory of Benue farmers.”
