"I make a social covenant with you today that the unemployed among you will get job. Those with no skill will be provided the relevant skill that would put food on their table. When we get to government, we will make soft loans available for market women and business owners."
Taking a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led government of Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osun, the APC presidential candidate assured the people that former Governor Gboyega Oyetola will soon return to government in the state.
He said:
"They were given a little opportunity to rule for some months and they started misbehaving, killing and creating unrest in Osun state."
Reacting to Oyetola’s recent victory at the election petition tribunal in the state, Tinubu praised the former governor's tenacity, diligence, consistency and determination.
On his plans for Osun, Tinubu noted that the state, which is highly blessed with diverse resources, should be a destination for business and tourism across the country, promising to help achieve this if he becomes the president.
He also itemized further things his administration will do in the agricultural, educational and security sectors to give a befitting life to the people.
