The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flag-bearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has assured people in Borno State that his government would end their hopelessness, deprivation and bring happiness to them if voted in the coming election.

He said the people of Borno have suffered deprivation and hopelessness but, if elected as president, everything will be over.

“You’ve suffered deprivation and hopelessness, some people created all these but we will take care of all of you. Your smile is back and your happiness is here.
