The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, says his team has the foresight to identify Nigeria’s problems and solve them headlong.
Mr Tinubu stated this at the inauguration of campaign logo and vehicles of the “APC Northern Door-to-Door for Tinubu/Shettima 2023’’ by the Northern APC Speakers Forum in Abuja on Saturday.
“We are the party of progressive ideas. We want good education for our children, good development for Nigeria, prosperity for this country and for agriculture and agro-allied projects to be embarked upon.
“We have the confidence; we have what it takes. We have the courage. We have the determination. We have the perseverance,’’ he said.
The presidential candidate added that the APC had no worries about the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) or engaging it in war of words.
He said that the APC, a party of thinkers and doers needed no such engagement with the opposition still struggling with its leadership.
“We shall not be hauling abuses at rival political parties. We are smarter. We are brilliant. We are courageous. We are not like them.
“They spent 16 years and forgot that railway infrastructure does haulage of goods and humans across Nigeria,’’ he noted.
Tinubu advised the PDP wait for Election Day in 2023 to see the defeat awaiting it.
“You make life easier for us no `sisi’ is demanded from us. Vehicles are provided, logo is unveiled, confidence boosting measure established; forward looking and hope rekindled; good for the prosperity of our country,’’ he said.
In his remarks, the party’s vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, expressed confidence that Tinubu’s leadership would build a new Nigeria.
“We are on the threshold of making history. The global economy is tinkering towards recession; the world has moved from the agricultural age to the industrial age.’’ he noted.
“Who among the presidential candidates today has greater skills sets, the intellect and the capacity to move this nation forward other than Asiwaju Bola Tinubu?” he queried.
Mr Shettima believed that 2023 presidential election would be a payback time for Mr Tinubu who had sacrificed so much for the democracy of Nigeria but was humiliated politically.
