When asked if the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has a manifesto, he said he had but has not been launched because “of the world economic crisis” which made the candidate reconsider redoing his manifesto.
He said Tinubu will launch his manifesto during the inauguration of the PCC which he says will come up in “a couple of days”.
Keyamo “in the context of what has happened across the world”, the APC has performed beyond expectations in terms of the 2015 and 2019 manifesto.
Keyamo, who is the Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, said the Nigerian economy under the APC remains the best performing in Africa.
The APC 2015 and 2019 manifestos were anchored on the fight against corruption, curbing unemployment, and dealing with insurgency.
“I’m proudly saying APC will campaign on [President Muhammadu] Buhari’s records,” Keyamo said.
