I Will Make Igboland Industrial Hub, Tinubu Promises Ndigbo
APC Presidential candidate, Tinubu
By Our Reporter
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Alliance (APC) on Wednesday promised to make the South East the industrial hub of the country if elected into office.
Tinubu during the party’s rally at Michael Okpara Square, Enugu condemned successive administrations for failing to construct the Second Niger bridge which according to him is expected to be inaugurated soon.
He called on Ndigbo to go and collect their Permanent Voter Cards in readiness for the election.
He said efforts are being made in the area of railway which according to him will improve exports.
According to him, “We are still fighting for a railway line and struggling across the country to build our port, to build a rail line from Zungeru to Lagos to Calabar to Enugu, rail to evacuate those coal and fire our furnaces to produce electricity.
Don’t bring me that nonsense of estimated billing and that you are not ready, no we can do it ourselves. Not just export of yam and cassava only, we can be an agro processing centre.
“We have only over 200 million people to feed, we are not going to starve to death.
“As you pray, be ready to sacrifice for Nigeria. Here you are, if the Federal Government collaborates with you, if you elect me as the president and we work together, we can site the industrial hub for Enugu, an industrial hub for Imo, for Ebonyi, Anambra, Abia, build seaports, two in Port Harcourt, fabricating engines, making all the things necessaries not just cutlass and bag makers.
“Enugu will become an industrial hub greater than before. There will be jobs for all of you. You have the edible mineral resources to propel economic recovery. You are all equally an agricultural powerhouse that can produce many cash crops even before now you were producing flowers and exporting them.”
Ends.
