APC Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Presidential Candidate for 2023 poll, says he has no disagreement with the party’s National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, contrary to some media reports.
Tinubu said this when he spoke with newsmen after a visit to the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday.
He described the reports as fake news.
“To the rumour manufacturers, I read in some papers about disagreement between myself and the chairman and that was a very big lie.
“They didn’t know that we have come a long way, the big masquerade dance not in the cage, but in the market square, and that is what Adamu use to be, full of wisdom.
“We were governors together, before God put us together on this project again, he is going to deliver as the party’s chairman for me to become Nigeria’s president, and I am very confident of that.
“They can say whatever they want to say, throw all the jabs they want, we are a party strongly determined to fulfil our dreams of turning Nigeria to a very progressive, highly developed, prosperous country,” he said.
Tinubu said that since his emergence as the APC Presidential Candidate, he has working as a progressive toward ensuring victory at the poll.
He said that the APC was determined to change Nigeria into an advance country with bright future for Nigerians.
He said that the APC was not threatened by opposition parties, in its quest for victory at the 2023 general election as it was committed to democratic and progressive principles.
“We are not threatened, we are committed to democratic principles and values, we are not bickering in any way,” the former two-term governor of Lagos State said.
This, he said, could not be said about other political parties which according to him, have been spewing fake statistics and wrong figures to Nigerians.
He thanked the party’s leadership and delegates for voting him as the presidential candidate in the March 26 presidential primaries.
He particularly thanked Adamu for his wisdom, support and cooperation over the years, saying that they had come a long way, even as former state governors.
Tinubu said that his visit was to strategies for the presidential campaign, ahead of the Sept.28 commencement date with the party’s leadership with a view to ensuring effective electioneering campaign.
He appealed to members of the party that may not be part of the presidential campaign team to be patient and to continue working for victory at all levels.
Some of the dignitaries accompanying Tinubu were his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima and the Director-General APC Presidential Campaign Council, Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau.
Others were Speaker House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila and Secretary of the Campaign Council, James Faleke. (NAN)
