Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has donated a sum of N100 million to flood victims in Kano.
Tinubu announced the donation during a dinner organised in his honour by the Kano business community council on Saturday.
He said the donation was aimed at alleviating the sufferings of the victims in the affected LGAs in the state.
He, however, called for sustained prayers to end flood disasters in the state and across the nation.
Tinubu further noted that the federal government had taken several measures to build infrastructure and improve the ease of doing business across the country.
Tinubu further promised that, if elected, he would ensure that Nigeria’s diversity served as a source of prosperity for all.
“Unity in diversity, peace and prosperity are the fulcrum of my mission in this contest,” he said.
The APC presidential candidate pledged to reposition existing industries and make them a competitive source of industrialisation and growth, not just for the North or Kano, but the entire country.
He also commended Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the state, for his stride in infrastructure development.
Tinubu, who described Ganduje as a “friend and a reliable partner”, said that the relationship between Kano and Lagos dated back to years due to the similarities between the two economic giants.
The APC presidential candidate also promised the business community that he would provide enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the state.
