Alhassan Ado Doguwa, majority leader of the house of representatives, says Bola Tinubu, the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will “perform miracles” if elected president.

Doguwa spoke on Wednesday in an interview on Channels Television.

Earlier, Tinubu, former Lagos governor, won the APC primary after he polled 1,271 votes to defeat 13 other presidential hopefuls.

Speaking on the development, the majority leader said the former governor will give “a lot of hope” to Nigerians if he wins the presidential election.

“The emergence of BAT, who has been a political household name to a lot of Nigerians, will also give a lot of hope to Nigerians that when the right time comes, the right thing will happen,” he said.

“I want to believe the emergence of BAT as our flagbearer is like the entrenchment of the right time to get the right person to rule the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Those of us who are from the north-west, who are also Buhari’s disciples, believe that this is somebody who will come and build on the gains already consolidated by the present administration.

“This is somebody who has done it in Lagos as governor, two-term. This is someone who has brought a lot of intelligent people to bear in the system and we have seen how it has manifested.

“I think what is going to happen to Nigeria is like a miracle. People will see miracles happening because you have a man who is miraculous that will take charge of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, especially in the area of the economy.”

When asked if Nigerians should expect miracles on security and economy if Tinubu wins the election, the lawmaker said the APC presidential candidate is someone who can perform miracles to give Nigerians a “complete lease on life”.
