"You know the president with honesty, integrity and dependability. We will continue with his incorruptible and straightforward attributes, " he said.
The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday told a mammoth rally in Owerri, the Imo State capital, that he would work assiduously to advance the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari.
At the rally attended by the president, Mr Tinubu said the good work of the president particularly in the area of infrastructure revolution, revamping agriculture, road and railway network would be sustained.
"You know the president with honesty, integrity and dependability. We will continue with his incorruptible and straightforward attributes, " he said.
The APC candidate also promised to prudently manage the nation's resources and increase the revenue-generation capacity as he did when he was Lagos governor.
To the people of Imo, Mr Tinubu said he would further invest in education as Mr Buhari who upgraded two institutions in the state to universities did and help to make the state a tourist destination.
"We will strengthen and promote peace and unity in the state and confront violence and man inhumanity to fellow man as that's the only way growth and development can be achieved," he said.
Addressing the rally, Mr Buhari said for the umpteenth time that Mr Tinubu would be the next president of the country God willing.
He said he had accompanied Mr Tinubu to the state to sell him to the people, expressing gratitude for the massive turnout at the rally.
