According to Kashim Shettima, the All Progressives Congress vice presidential candidate, Nigeria needs a presidential candidate who is dedicated to pushing development.
Shettima said that Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, is the only one with the abilities the country needs while speaking on Thursday at the Yoruba Tennis Club’s 96th anniversary celebration in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
The vice presidential candidate claims that Tinubu has the same degree of hospitality as the late Sani Abacha, a former military ruler, as well as President Muhammadu Buhari’s drive to get things done.
The APC vice president said, “We are convinced that the general political situation in Nigeria needs the competencies of a detribalised and committed Nigerian like Tinubu to re-ignite the requisite values that can help us rededicate ourselves and all Nigerians to collectively tackle the challenges of national cohesion.”
“In 2023, we need a Nigerian leader that has the humility and generosity of spirit of the likes of general Yakubu Gowon. We need a leader that has abnegation and commitment of Muhammadu Buhari.
“We need a leader that has the work ethic and broadmindedness of an Olusegun Obasanjo. We need a leader that has the situational pragmatism and understanding of Nigeria’s security, the maradonic skill of Ibrahim Babangida.
“We need a leader with a vision and sense of responsibility and commitment, and somebody who understands the national title of the nation of an Abdulsalami Abubakar, and in our systemic circumstances, we need a leader with a dose of the hospitality of a Sani Abacha.
“We need a leader with the intellectual acumen, with the action to catapult this nation to a higher pedestrian. We need a leader who is not bound by regional or religious sentiment.
“We need a leader that has established such records of excellence and commitment to good governance. There is no one, with all due respect, that fits this better than Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
At the even, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu says Tinubu remains the most qualified candidate with all it takes to lead Nigeria.
