Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu deserves victory in the Feb. 25 election, because he is most qualified, Danladi Bako, a director of the All Progressives Congress ( APC) presidential campaign council said.
Bako, who is the Koguna of Sokoto, is also the deputy director, Strategic Communication of the PCC and a veteran broadcaster.
He was at a time the commissioner of information in Sokoto and also director general of the National Broadcasting Commission(NBC).
He spoke on Friday in Abuja after being inducted by a group -Progressive Nation Initiative as its National Patron.
“Tinubu should not be voted for because he is Yoruba man, but he should be voted for because of his capacity and his past records of service.
“He designed the 25-year master plan for Lagos State that includes the blue rail line and all the structures he put in place.
“It also includes LASTMA, Eko Atlantic city, Lekki deep seaport and sanitation activities.
“Tinubu also shored up the revenue of Lagos State to about N51 billion per month and the list is endless.”
Bako said Tinubu deserves to be given the chance to occupy the highest seat in Nigeria.
On Tinubu’s running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, Bako recalled that when he was elected as Borno Governor, 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) were under the control of Boko Haram insurgents.
“Before the end of his tenure, Shettima brought down the LGAs to only eight.
“By 2022, Gov. Babagana Zulum told President Muhammadu Buhari that there is no LGA under the control of the insurgents.”
Bako said a Nigeria under Tinubu would ensure sustenance of Buhari’s achievements as he would build on them.
“Tinubu’s presidency will benefit everybody and we should massively vote for him and Shettima, and APC candidates at all levels,” the Co-chairman said.
Earlier, the National Secretary, Progressive Nation Initiative, Pastor Olarewaju Omolayo, said that a Tinubu presidency would be a prophecy for faith.
“As far as Tinubu is concerned, there is no shaking as it is all about his antecedents and in all ramifications, he is the answer to the problems facing Nigeria,” he said
