Sanwo-Olu says Tinubu is most qualified candidate for 2023 presidency

Sanwo-Olu said Nigeria needs a capable leader with progressive ideas to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari next year.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has describes the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the most qualified and marketable choice for the 2023 presidential election.

The governor while speaking during the formal inauguration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (ABAT) Movement’s Working Committees said Tinubu’s capability to effectively manage human and material resources stands him out as the most qualified candidate.

Sanwo-Olu said Nigeria needs a capable leader with progressive ideas to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari next year.

He said, “If our country must be great, we have the responsibility to choose the leadership that will bring about true transformation across every facet of our national life. Who is that rallying figure that should lead us in this journey? The answer is deeply connected to our mission and purpose here today.

“That person must be a detribalised Nigerian and a bridge builder, who has been tested and trusted. A thinker who must sustain the legacy our current president is leaving behind. That person is the reason we are inaugurating this movement for the actualisation of his presidential ambition. That person is our great leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Let us tell the naysayers and those who are still in doubt that we are ready to work for the realisation of this ambition, because Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the number one salable candidate for the president. We will preach this gospel with diligence, dedication and high sense of commitment. Asiwaju is an unfolding success story our nation deserves at this time.

“We must see ourselves in line with Asiwaju’s political ideals. To be open to all, tolerate various interests and embrace everyone. We must reflect those ideas of our leader in our utterances and actions. You cannot afford to disappoint us on this mission.”

It would be recalled that Tinubu announced his presidential ambition earlier in the month.

The former governor of Lagos State said he had informed the President of his ambition, adding that he would inform Nigerians when he’s done consulting.
