“For those who voted against him (Tinubu), they don’t know because their own economic boom, unfortunately, is tied, even to this government.
“The most critics of Tinubu will be surprised the way their economic growth and resources they long expected will come speedily and perhaps they will regret that, oh, if I had known, I would have voted for this man.
“So if you look at the President and the Vice President, you will discover that they are technocrats.
“They are politicians. That means they are combining two capacity together to make a government and I believe that this government is going to be encompassing and inclusive one that believe in knowledge-based economy, whereby the younger generation or the middle class will be able to increase their productive capacity.

“After today, we’re still going to have three days of celebration and immediately, we will kick start work.
“Like I said earlier, housing will now be affordable to Nigerians. This is certain. You do not need millions in your account to become a property owner.
