Tinubu: Other presidential hopefuls lack the brain I used to develop Lagos
Bola Tinubu, presidential hopeful on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he’s the only aspirant with the required expertise to manage Nigeria.
He said this on Friday while addressing APC delegates at the Niger government house in Minna, the state capital, ahead of the forthcoming presidential primary.
Tinubu also said with his track record as Lagos governor, he has what it takes to put Nigeria on the path to prosperity.
“I am the only one running for the president of our great country. I don’t know where others are running to. I am the only one who knows the road to prosperity of the country,” he said.
“I am a better candidate because of my track record. I have produced many people, starting from councillors, house of assembly members, senate, reps, and governors, yet they are pointing accusing fingers at me.
“We will join hands to rebuild Nigeria of our dream. Don’t bother about them. I am the only one in the race. Follow me; I will not mislead you. I’m the only one with the knowledge and the brain to think for Nigeria.
“I have the confidence, I have done it in Lagos and I will do better for Nigeria.
“It takes thinkers to provide security and a doer will look at economic prosperity and turn it around, We must leave our children and grandchildren with a good educational structure, not to roam on the streets.
“I have what it takes, which is smartness. I am better than all of them because they lack the brain that I used to rebuild Lagos.”
Also present at the meeting were Abubakar Sani Bello, Niger governor, and Kashim Shettima, former governor of Borno.
What development is Mr. Tinubu talking about? What exactly did Mr. Tinubu do in Lagos? To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Fashola developed Lagos, followed by Ambode and the current governor Sanwo-Olu.
