One of the Presidential aspirants under the All Progressives Congress (APC), and former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu has stated that if elected as President in 2023, his administration would pay the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) fees for Nigerian students, no matter their background.
He made this known while addressing some women who are chieftains of the APC, in a video.
He said, “Your children’s West African examination fees will be paid by us, so that no one, no matter how poor, will be left behind.”
He further stated his intention to stabilise the country adding that he would break the shackles of poverty and ignorance in the country.
Tinubu also advised the women to remain in the APC and support it, stating that it is a progressing party.
“The symbol of our party is a broom. The symbol of my cap is breaking shackles. You break the shackles of ignorance, poverty, and many things.
“We need stability in the country. We need peace and the stoppage of banditry is extremely important because women are the vulnerable victims of banditry, violence, and instability. Without peace and stability, we cannot build a nation as rapidly as we want,” Tinubu said.
Last week Monday,Tinubu said that he had informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his presidential ambition.
The APC stalwart however said he was yet to publicly disclose his ambition as he was still in consultations with various interests across the country.
