He said that the vision to advance the cause of economic prosperity and save the future of the younger generation required them to carry these people along from the grassroots.

 

“We want good governance and you have to carry them all along from the beginning.

 

“The one that has intellectual capacity to advance the cause of Nigeria and take it into the next level, to be giant in terms of economy in the whole of Africa, is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
