Tinubu made the promise while speaking at the inauguration of the Women Presidential Campaign Team of the APC at the Aso Villa Banquet Hall in Abuja, for the 2023 presidential elections.
Several heavyweight Politicians in the country attended the event, including his running mate Kashim Shettima.
Tinubu buttressed that the symbol on his cap which he flaunts constantly simply means “broken shackle”.
The APC presidential candidate said, “The design on this cap is a broken shackle. We are breaking the shackle of poverty and destitution. In the last eight years, it has been a party that inherited a troublesome nation under the weight of uncertainty.
“We took over the worst pricing of crude oil but still, the very determined, focused person (Buhari) was able to bail 36 states of this country which were not able to pay salaries.”
Tinubu went ahead to blast his party’s main opposition, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), saying, the former ruling party “will never come back” to rule Nigeria again.

He said, “A nation is not built on abusive language… 16 years of rudderless and ditching the wool – PDP shall never come back again. Never again.
“Our opponents spent 16 years, they had forgotten that the highway is an economy, electricity is mandatory for industrialization. They don’t understand the transmission lines and the need for maintenance.
“They couldn’t make a down payment for the rail track. They are a political party of termites.”
Tinubu also said, he knows what to do when he wins the 2023 presidential election.
