The All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals’ Forum says it is confident that the President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu will turn Nigeria’s economy around and implement dynamic policies that will drive development across the country.
Malam Isa Yuguda, Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT) APC Professionals’ Forum gave the assurance in a statement on Friday in Abuja while congratulating Tinubu on his electoral victory at the Feb. 25 presidential election.

“As you prepare to succeed President Buhari, the forum is confident that Nigerians will benefit from your widely known capacity to introduce and implement dynamic policies that will drive development across the country.
