It Is Dangerous For You To Ignore Uzodinma – Tinubu Tells South-East Leaders

With less than 100 days to the 2023 general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, warned that it would be dangerous for businessmen and political leaders in the South-East to ignore Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.

“Ignore Uzodinma at your own peril,” the former Governor of Lagos State reportedly said while addressing private sector drivers in Owerri on Thursday, November 17.

Naija News reports that the presidential hopeful and his running, Kashim Shettima and other top APC chieftains stormed Owerri yesterday to attend a town hall meeting involving South-East private sector drivers, including manufacturers, investors, traders, entrepreneurs and artisans.

During his speech, the APC flagbearer commended Governor Uzodimma over his developmental strides and called on Nigerians to join hands with him and the APC to bring prosperity and renewed hope to the country.

Tinubu called on all people of goodwill to vote for progress and to be part of the nation’s golden future, and never to allow those who have dragged the country back to come back again.

The former Governor of Lagos State maintained that if elected, his government will judiciously use the resources the country has to move it forward against incessant lamentation.

“I am coming to serve the people and not to be their boss. I brought progressive governance and forward-looking government and not the type that will take Nigerians backwards,” Tinubu said.

Tinubu further assured the businessmen that if elected, his administration would create an enabling environment that would make their businesses more prosperous.

“We will develop a code that when activated, will make their goods and services easy on the roads of Nigeria,” he said.

On his part, Governor Uzodimma said the reason for the town hall meeting was for the business leaders to interrogate some of the challenges and issues they were facing in their businesses for provisions to be made in the APC candidate’s manifesto.
