Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos state, says Bola
Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, has the
capacity to fix the challenges facing the business community.
The Lagos governor said Tinubu is not a stranger to the
needs, concerns and interests of the private sector.
He spoke on Tuesday during an interactive session between
Tinubu and industrialists, business executives, entrepreneurs and foreign
investors in Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu said Tinubu, as a visionary political economist,
understands the pulse of investors.
“Asiwaju Tinubu is a
man that has been able to combine political acumen with the understanding of
the economy and economics of every jurisdiction,” he said.
“As Governor of Lagos, Tinubu pioneered several firsts,
which still stand till today. During Asiwaju’s tenure, he initiated the idea of
the Economic Summit as a catalyst for economic development.
“He started in Lagos with the Ehingbeti Summit in 2001. That
summit has continued to lead the successive administrations after him into
various applaudable economic agendas.
“Under Tinubu’s
leadership, Lagos became the first sub-national entity to bring about the
Independent Power Project (IPP) and first state to initiate the idea of establishing
a seaport.
“Yesterday (Monday), that vision came to fruition as we
witnessed the completion of Lekki Deep Seaport. This speaks to the sheer
doggedness and audacity of this man of vision.
“Eko Atlantic City is today the biggest real estate
developed in this part of Africa through reclamation of the ocean. All thanks
to the vision of Asiwaju to turn problems to opportunities.
“Today, Tinubu is here as a politician and leader of our
party. On the other side, you all see a man that is compassionate, intelligent,
business-driven and has the acumen to solve the challenges the private sector
experiences on a daily basis.
“I present to you,
the man that has what it takes to lead this country forward to a prosperous
future with renewed hope.”
The APC presidential candidate also presented his economic
action plan to the business leaders at the interactive session.
