Tinubu released his manifesto first: APC’s candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu also released his manifesto this month, in which he stated that Nigeria must break the explicit link between naira expenditure and dollar inflows into the economy.
He also urged suspending the limits on government spending during this protracted moment of global economic turmoil exacerbated by domestic challenges in security, economy and demography.
