Meanwhile, the content of the prepared speech, which the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, failed to deliver to the mammoth crowd of supporters who converged on the Trade Fair Complex, Minna, during the campaign rally has emerged online.

The APC flagbearer also said his administration will make strategic investments in infrastructure and give people the opportunity to produce valuable goods that would improve the quality of life.

Tinubu also promised to improve all federal roads such that they would become better avenues of travel and commerce for the well-being and prosperity of all.
