ACCORDING to Uba Sani, the APC’s governorship candidate for Kaduna State, Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, is the best qualified of all those vying to become Nigeria’s next president in 2023,
Sani, a sitting senator from Kaduna Central, stated that whereas other presidential contenders were merely military apologists, Tinubu fought and paid his dues for the establishment of democracy in the nation today.
The governorship candidate believes that Tinubu should become Nigeria’s president because he has what it takes to lead the nation to greatness.
On Sunday, at the “Isokan Omo Eko Day” in the state capital of Kaduna State, Sani spoke at the Association of Lagos State Indigenes’ award event.
He said, “You cannot compare Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu with other Presidential Candidates, because they were nowhere to be found when Asiwaju and people like us were fighting for the enthronement of the democracy we now enjoy today.
“I have known Asiwaju since 1992. We became friends because we share the same convictions; the convictions for rule of law, the conviction for justice and freedom of Nigerians. We fought together for the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria.
“Nigerians should not forget that the reason we can gather here and associate freely is because of the sacrifices of some people. That is why I am calling on Nigerians to support Asiwaju Tinubu to be President of Nigeria. Of all those contesting, Tinubu is the most qualified.
“Most of the other Presidential Candidates were military apologists when Tinubu was fighting for democracy, they never supported rule of law, equality, and justice. Asiwaju did not only fight for democracy, but he also paid his dues, in fact, some of us were detained and persecuted.
“Today, we have the democracy we fought for, I believe it is the turn of Asiwaju to be President of our great nation because he has what it takes to move Nigeria to a greater height. None of the other candidates has his record of achievements and we believe he will perform excellently well.”
Sheriff Olutusin, the acting chairman of the Association of Lagos State Indigenes, also said earlier in his welcome speech that Tinubu had built infrastructure, educated people, turned waterways into cities, increased Lagos’ revenue from N600 million to N50 billion, among other things, and that he could do the same and more if given the chance to lead Nigeria.
