“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed towards the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.” – Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
On the 25th of February 2023, the good people of the Federal republic of Nigeria will be going to the poll to elect a new president for the next four years with effect from May 29th 2023. As we decide with our votes, it is imperative to take a critical look at the action plan of the leading candidate, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with his manifestoes and the eighty-page policy document of the renewed hope which centers on Securing lives and properties, Qualitative Education for all, with special funding, Agricultural Revolution, Healthcare as a matter of Right and Urgency both at the primary and secondary Healthcare with financing and National Health Insurance, The Digital economy by taking advantage of the fourth industrial revolution which will create one million jobs in the ICT sector within its first 24 months upon assuming office, Youth Empowerment and entrepreneurship, Judicial reforms, foreign policy and welfare for all.
No doubt the 2023 presidential election is a critical and turning point for a prosperous Nation. Hence, it is imperative for Nigerians to get it right with their votes by voting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima owing to their visionary leadership and track records of service deliveries as past Governors of Lagos State and Borno State, respectively.
The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu campaign has a clear vision, issue driven initiatives, development focused agenda and programmatic packaged policies that will usher Nigeria into the era of new beginning, there is a prospect for a Better Nigeria for all despite our enormous challenges. As a Nation in transition, the global economic outlook looks bleak and likely to slow down growth and development globally.
The high cost of living is a global challenge and not peculiar to our dear Nation, the IMF outlook for 2023 has predicted more glooming days with the economic outlook would likely slow to 2.7% with the ongoing war in Russia/Ukraine, the post brexit challenges facing the Great Britain, and the China Economic slowdown, it is going to be a “Volatile” period Ecologically, Geopolitically and Economically but with the Tinubu Presidency, and clear vision for a better Nigeria, it is crystal clear that with the 3.2 growth outlook for Nigeria, most investors from the global community will take advantage of the Nigerian Economy and that is why I am appealing to all Nigerians voters to vote Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Kashim Shettima on the 25th of February as President Federal Republic of Nigeria. It’s time to heed the call for National action for power shift, since Nigeria is a Federal character.
A vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Kashim Shettima is a vote for a Better Nigeria that lies ahead of us, let’s walk in it collectively, let’s renew our hope for a better and prosperous Nigeria.
May God bless Tinubu/Shettima Mandate!
May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!
