President Bola Tinubu has said that the Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar was part of those that created the mess his government was cleaning up now.
Atiku was vice president between 1999 and 2007 during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Tinubu stated this Saturday during the presidential campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
He said when he was helpless, the people of Port Harcourt supported him and gave him the mandate.
The President stated: “I look very helpless. But you stood out to support me, give me the mandate. The mandate that I used to govern till today, you are a positive contributor. I must thank you for going out there to vote and vote massively for APC. Today again, I return here to say thank you. And seek your support for the second term.
“I’m seeking that support because you believe in me. You believe that I care for you, particularly the young youth. Your education, your welfare, your skill is extremely important to me, to Nigeria. I assure you this, we have started the golden age. The prosperity is here.”
Tinbu said when he took over, 27 out of 36 states were unable to pay salaries, saying that meant a lot for the families that depend on the salaries and to many households
