A presidential aspirant on the APC platform, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says he has all the qualities to be the party’s flagbearer in the 2023 presidential race.
Tinubu, who is National Leader of APC, said he would unite Nigeria if elected to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
The former Lagos governor said this on Monday in Katsina while addressing party delegates ahead of its presidential primary election.
Tinubu explained that he possessed all the requisite qualities to be seen as a potential president of Nigeria due to his wide knowledge and experiences as well as his track record of achievement in governance.
He reiterated that as president, he would unite Nigerians and give them more hope irrespective of tribe or religion.
The aspirant added that he would develop a new strategy and commit enough resources to fight banditry and other related crimes if voted as president.
The APC national leader also said he would focus on irrigation farming, economic, education and infrastructural development and keep Nigeria working again.
“I come to unite Nigeria and not to divide it; I come to bring you hope, prosperity, happiness, job and stability.
“Though tongues may differ, the brotherhood will stand; you are my brother and together we will defeat poverty.
“Anybody that wants it can run, but not everybody can become the president,’’ he said.
Responding, Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State said Nigeria needed a leader like Tinubu with wide experience in governance.
He expressed the belief and confidence that Nigeria would certainly overcome the challenges confronting it soon.
