2023: Tinubu Most Prepared Presidential Candidate — APC

The North-West Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that its presidential flag bearer, Bola Tinubu, is the most prepared in the country.

The remark was made in the commendation given to Tinubu by the party following his session at Chatham House, London.

The former governor received criticism for deflecting questions thrown at him and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called it a show of shame.

Shunning the backlash, the North West APC PCC under the leadership of Governor Bello Matawalle and his deputy zonal coordinator, Dr Salihu Lukman, came to Tinubu's defence, praising his cognitive capacity and knowledge of issues raised.

“Chatham house has been a source of independent analysis, trusted dialogue and influential ideas for over 100 years.

"Therefore, it is the right place for Asiwaju to demonstrate his teamwork acumen, both in politics and governance.

“We also noted the cognitive capacity and knowledge of issues affecting our beloved country, displayed by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his presentation at the session.

"He is obviously the most prepared presidential candidate in Nigeria. Indeed, the secret behind Asiwaju’s success can be found in his ability to assemble a good team and assign each of them a task that must be accomplished!

“The response of Femi Gbajamiamila on policy was impressive, just as the dissection of security issues by Governor El Rufai was equally superlative.

"Other members of the team like Dele Alake and Dr Betta Edu also displayed high-level professional skills.

“The London outing is obviously a good preview to what Nigerians should expect from Tinubu’s presidency come 2023 God’s willing.

"It was indeed an opportunity for him to showcase his leadership skills to the international community, his vision for Nigeria, his enviable track records and his ability to identify talents and delegate responsibilities to them”, the statement reads.
