National Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Betta Edu has said that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu would perform so well in his first term that Nigerians would beg him to run for a second term.
Edu said this in a Channels Television interview on Thursday.
Tinubu, who was conferred with Nigeria’s highest honour of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on Thursday, is scheduled to be inaugurated as President on May 29.
According to the APC women leader, Tinubu is poised to hit the ground running upon inauguration.
Edu explained that the incoming president would work on the “low points” of the outgoing administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“I bet on anything, Nigerians would plead with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, four years down the line, for a second term.
“The first point we must understand is that Nigeria is a work in progress. If you listen to the speech of President Muhammadu Buhari today at the state banquet hall, he stated very clearly that he has fought a good fight.
“He said he is handing over Nigeria to someone who he believes will continue from where he stops and do better,” she said.
Edu added, “If you know Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, he is a deep thinker and doer. One who is very strong in terms of analysing and strategising.
“I can boldly tell you for free that the next 60 days have clearly been spelt out by Tinubu — what he hopes to do, what he hopes to achieve, at what point and where.
“He fully understands the task ahead of him. He is fully prepared. He wants to hit the ground running.”
