An All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential aspirant,
Bola Tinubu, has thrown a challenge at his fellow aspirants.
Tinubu said they should wait and see who picks the APC
presidential ticket.
Tinubu, who is a former governor of Lagos State, spoke on
Thursday evening in Abuja when he hosted the Forum of Former Deputy Governors
of Nigeria (FFDGN).
The former governor of Lagos urged the forum to support his
presidential ambition.
Calling for unity within the party, Tinubu noted that the
reward system in APC was poor.
He said: “Many of you I know, and you have participated in
governance and political activities. You have given value to your various
states. When we merged as one and took the broom as the symbol of our party, broom
has a lot of meaning.
“Let me first of all address our element of constitution.
Our reward system as APC is very poor, and it was late before I could recognise
that. Let me assure you, I won’t repeat that mistake, if I’m elected.
“But for those who have decided to be an opponent, I will
not dwell on that, let’s see who wins, but I want to win and I want you to work
along with me and to convince more delegates.”
Aspirants like Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Rotimi Amaechi,
Minister of Transportation; Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State; and Pastor
Tunde Bakare are also vying for the sole APC presidential ticket.
Others include Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State; Minister
of Science and Technology, Ogbonnaya Onu; Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and
Employment as well as Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba.
