The All Progressives Congress ( APC ) Presidential Candidate, Sen. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured the people of Borno State that if elected president, he would end Boko Haram insurgency and resuscitate the Lake Chad Basin to create jobs.
Tinubu who held a townhall meeting with stakeholders in the state ahead of the rally promised to end all the challenges facing the state if given the mandate alongside his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shattima.
He made the promises while addressing the crowd at the El-Kanemi Warriors Sports Center, venue of the rally in Maiduguri.
