National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is the best aspirant to fly the party’s flag for the 2023 presidential election, the Lagos chapter of APC has said.
Publicity Secretary of Lagos APC, Seye Oladejo said that Tinubu has all it takes to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari and would soundly defeat his opponents on the way to doing so.
He noted that Tinubu was a better candidate than Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, whom he said has not achieved much as the leader of the nation’s economic team.
Oladejo described Osinbajo as a “pawn” being used by some power brokers to truncate Tinubu’s candidature.
“The last time I checked, the Vice President was in charge of the economy. The only demand is for us to go to primary. Let us see how much support Osinbajo can garner from party members. This is someone who could not even win his polling booth. I’m not aware of any change in political relevance and popularity since the last elections.
“Nigerians need a prepared president who has paid his dues in enthroning democracy, mentoring potential leaders and being a destiny helper to numerous people aside from being the reference point for good governance in Nigeria.

“Asiwaju has a lot of support across the country. There are a lot of people who will come out to support him all over the country; even more in the North than South. So, we will be ready.
“We know Osinbajo is just a pawn on the chessboard of some game-masters. The message in the fact that his declaration came during the Holy Week is definitely not lost on all and sundry,” Oladejo said.
