By Florence Cornelius On Jan 19, 2022

Former Lagos state governor and frontline presidential aspirant of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has promised to party the West African Senior School Certificate Examination fees for every Nigerian child if he is elected president.

Tinubu made the statement in a video shared online on Wednesday, January 19.

He said;

Your children’s West African examination fees will be paid by us, so that no one, no matter how poor, will be left behind. The symbol of our party is a broom. The symbol of my cap is breaking shackles. You break the shackles of ignorance, poverty, and many things. We need stability in the country. We need peace and the stoppage of banditry is extremely important because women are the vulnerable victims of banditry, violence, and instability. Without peace and stability, we cannot build a nation as rapidly as we want.

Tinubu who was addressing women groups in the video urged them to stay in the APC because the party is progressive.

Highlighting the problem of banditry, Tinubu noted that the country needs peace and stability in order to move forward.

He added;

We need stability in the country. Peace and solving banditry is extremely important because women are the first vulnerable victims. Without peace and stability we can’t build a nation as rapidly as we want.

Last week, Tinubu opened up on his presidential aspiration by informing Buhari of his decision to contest for the presidency in 2023.
