Tinubu claims that his leadership as governor from 1999 to 2007 propelled Lagos State to become the fifth-largest economy in Africa, emphasizing how this accomplishment positions him as a strong candidate for the presidency.
He made this known during the 10th German-Nigerian Business Forum in Berlin, Germany.
His words: “For those who fear various obstacles, look at me; I come from the private sector, and I’m one of you, trained by Deloitte. I served as the treasurer of Exxon Mobil. Define corporate governance in any way, and I am in it.
“I governed Lagos for eight consecutive years. Today, I can proudly beat my chest that Lagos State is on the horizon and the fifth-largest economy in Africa, rising from zero. This is the track record that led me to the office of president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Nigeria voted for me for reforms, and from day one of my inauguration, I started the reforms. To me, if you didn’t mention me in the Guinness Book of Records, I’d thrive to find a way to insert myself because I did it without expectation, my inaugural speech disclosed what I would do” Tinubu added.
Tinubu made these statements following the signing of two significant agreements between Nigerian and German companies in Berlin on Tuesday.
Kanyi Daily recalls that Bola Tinubu said that poverty, though not a source of shame, is deemed unacceptable under his leadership in Nigeria.
