Bola Tinubu, standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has vowed to protect businesses in the south east if elected president of the country.
He said this on Thursday at the APC presidential campaign rally in Ebonyi.
He also promised not tolerate any form of discrimination against the Igbo people.
“I believe in the entrepreneurial spirit of the Igbo. I encouraged a lot of Igbo businesses and investments in Lagos and will even do more if I become president,” he said.
“If elected, there will be no discrimination. Igbo interests will be respected and protected. I will also encourage policies to aid commerce and support south-east states to reach their full potential.
“I will engage the leaders of the south-east in a heart-to-heart discussion on all issues agitating their minds. If elected, I will address all issues and policies that tend to hinder their commerce and enterprise.
“I will work with businessmen and women and encourage them to make the south-east the Taiwan of Africa.”
