“I need not remind you all that the expectations of Nigerians on our great party are enormous and as progressives, we cannot do otherwise.
“Our presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has a track record where hennoteddd that he is an engine for prosperity. BAT administration will put in place policies together with the right roadmap for Nigerians to achieve their economic dreams where the needs of all our citizens will be catered for.”
