Ahmed said that such vision was achievable in view of building indivisible shared values of patriotism, equity, justice and brotherhood.

He noted the APC flag bearer had reiterated that his administration would be business-friendly, adding that Tinubu was determined to support private businesses in the country and attract Foreign Direct Investment to create jobs.

Ahmed who urged Nigerians to support Tinubu’s presidential ambition further stated that his economic blueprint would promote businesses in sectors including: banking, telecommunication industry, amongst others. (NAN)
