Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has also released his campaign manifesto. The 80-page document contains multi-sectoral policy options tagged “Renewed Hope 2023 – Action Plan for a Better Nigeria.” It shows that APC has moved from 2015 campaign manifesto tagged “Change” and 2019 that was tagged “Next Level” to “Renewed Hope,” that invokes late MKO Abiola’s campaign slogan, “Hope’93.” The former Lagos State governor vowed to prioritise national security, economy, agriculture, power, oil and gas, transportation and education when elected as Buhari’s successor after the 2023 election. He also outlined policy options for healthcare, digital economy, women empowerment, judicial reform, federalism, decentralisation of power and foreign policy.
