He urged the campaign team to make the administration’s record the centrepiece of its message to Nigerians.
“We have delivered on our campaign promises and set our country on a path of economic progress,” Tinubu said.
“We are definitely out of the dark tunnel and are now at the cusp of reaping the benefits of a prosperous economy that will benefit all Nigerians.”
