The Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa says Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will “perform miracles” if elected president in 2023.
He stated this as a guest on a Channels Television programme on Wednesday.
Recall that Tinubu won the presidential primaries of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday.
The former Lagos polled 1,271 votes to defeat Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi (316 votes), Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (235 votes) and 11 other contestants.
In his reaction, Doguwa described Tinubu as the right person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The emergence of BAT, who has been a political household name to a lot of Nigerians, will also give a lot of hope to Nigerians that when the right time comes the right thing will happen.
“I want to believe the emergence of BAT as our flagbearer is like the entrenchment of the right time to get the right person to rule the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Those of us who are from the north-west, who are also Buhari’s disciples, believe that this is somebody who will come and build on the gains already consolidated by the present administration.
“This is somebody who has done it in Lagos as governor, two-term. This is someone who has brought a lot of intelligent people to bear in the system and we have seen how it has manifested.
“I think what is going to happen to Nigeria is like a miracle. People will see miracles happening because you have a man who is miraculous that will take charge of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, especially in the area of the economy,” Doguwa said.
