According to a report by The Nation, Mr. Tinubu made this statement on Thursday during the APC presidential rally and governorship campaign flag-off in Ebonyi State.
He asserted that, as opposed to using force, negotiation was the greatest approach for people to get their requests and grievances met.
“We desire peace. I’ll address every agitator. Conflict-free negotiation is the only way to get what you want, Mr. Tinubu stated.

Additionally, Mr. Tinubu pledged to transform the Southeast into Taiwan, an East Asian nation. In order to maintain stability in the power sector, he also pledged to discontinue estimated billing.
“We don’t want to regress. Being progressives, we’ll help Nigeria advance. We’ll act morally upright. We’ll turn Southeast Asia into Africa’s Taiwan.
“Transportation is essential for the advancement and revival of the economy. In the power sector, we will stop using estimated billing. In order to put a stop to ongoing disruptions, we will upgrade the infrastructure in the power industry, he stated.
When Mr. Tinubu is elected president, he should make it possible for Ebonyi State to be zoned for the position of senate president, according to Charles Mkpuma, the chairman of the Ebonyi State Traditional Rulers Council.
At the brand-new Ebonyi State Executive Chambers in Abakaliki, where Mr. Tinubu was subsequently received, Mr. Mkpuma gave a speech.
The king said that he, along with other traditional leaders from the state who were present at the gathering, supported Mr. Tinubu’s bid for the presidency.
Even though we had decided to support you and the other APC candidates, Mr. Mkpuma added, “Our people are thrilled with you because you are here to see us.
When the APC candidate is elected president, the king advised him to remember the South-east.
friendship relationship strengthening
In response, Mr. Tinubu invited the South-easters to support his bid for the presidency in 2023 in order to deepen their friendship with their counterparts in the South-west, where he is originally from.
If elected, he guaranteed the populace that they would be supported by his administration.
Mr. Tinubu praised Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi for his “huge infrastructural strides” in the region.
Chiefdom title
Mr. Mkpuma led the monarchs in bestowing Mr. Tinubu with the chieftaincy title of Dike Di Ora Nma, which translates to “a hero that the people love.”
They claimed that Mr. Tinubu’s “acceptability by the people, particularly the traditional institution in the state,” was bolstered by the title.
