2023: What Tinubu Will Do If Elected As President – Oshiomhole

A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole on Sunday revealed what the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Tinubu would do if emerges as president in 2023.

Oshiomhole said Tinubu if elected in the forthcoming election, will make education and skills acquisition compulsory for Nigerians.

The former Governor of Edo State, who is the Deputy Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council stated this during an interview on Channels TV.

According to Oshiomhole, the people behind the security crisis in the country are citizens whose welfare had been neglected by successive governments.

He said, “Those we refer to as bandits are people in my view whom the country has dehumanised as young children, denied them access to education, spend all their lives begging, living from hand to mouth under the weather (and) nobody cares.

“The public can’t locate their parents and now they are in their late twenties, not educated and they must survive. Even if they must survive on begging, those who can give alms are getting fewer and now they decide to resort to what we now call banditry.

“The long-term solution, Asiwaju spoke to it. We must recognise that the 21 st century is not good to have amajiri as a given. Every Nigerian must be entitled to, beyond formal legality, is to have universal basic, compulsory education

“The logic of that is that if you must have a child, you have a legal duty to ensure that child goes to school, at least up to primary school level.”
