THE presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu has promised to protect Igbo businesses if elected President in the 2023 general election.
Tinubu made the promise on Thursday, November 24, during the APC presidential campaign rally in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State capital.
He assured that he would not tolerate any form of discrimination and segregation against the people of the South-East.

“I believe in the entrepreneurial spirit of the Igbo. I encouraged a lot of Igbo businesses and investments in Lagos and will even do more if I become President,” he said
“I will engage the leaders of the South-East in a heart-to-heart discussion on all issues agitating their minds. If elected, I will address all issues and policies that tend to hinder their commerce and enterprise.
“I will work with businessmen and women and encourage them to make the South-East the Taiwan of Africa,” he promised.
Stories with punches holding the powerful accountable. His determination to speak out against corruption and influence the conversation in Nigeria, the surrounding region and the continent inspires him.
So you even know Nigeria; definitely not only the APC but you are aware that your APC has been making policies to hinder the progress of the so called South East. Those who contribute so much by way of taxation and physical developments in all states of the federation but the government chose to impede them with 97% and 5% ratio consideration of your President. No nation moves forward with such local, time bound, un nationalistic consideration even when it’s known that
your president people will never take such exclusion in a country they granted themselves the monopoly to destroy. Until the elites and all think Nigeria first, Nigeria can never be where it’s supposed to be; not by stealing government money, not by occupying all government offices to all the rest cares. Things don’t work that way. Thanks.
