Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over his decision to support only candidates of the party in 2023.

The former Lagos governor spoke on Saturday in Abuja while receiving APC national working committee (NWC) members at the Tinubu/Shettima campaign office. 

The APC presidential candidate described the president as a bold leader for taking the stand.

“I like the statement of Mr. President few days ago. Firm, concise, straight to the point and bold as a leader of our party,” he said.

“We should commend the President for that statement. For his commitment and loyalty to the party. And for being a true party leader.”

Tinubu said he will institute modern financial reforms and devise technology-driven solutions to eliminate crimes if elected president.

The APC candidate said he would also embark on modern infrastructural development across the country. 

“Among other things if and when we are elected, we will work towards developing Nigeria as a knowledge-based economy that meets the overarching needs of the present and plans for the future,” he said. 

“We will institute 21st-century financial reforms, embark on 21st-century infrastructural development and 21st-century elimination of crimes that will be technology-driven.”
