The North-West Presidential Campaign Council of the All
Progressives Congress has applauded the performance of the party standard
bearer, Bola Tinubu, at Chatham House in London, saying he displayed a vast
knowledge of issues affecting the country.
The APC candidate had on Monday revealed his plans to
rebuild the nation’s economy, security, and foreign policy when elected as
president.
Tinubu shared his thoughts during his address titled
“Nigeria’s 2023 elections: Security, economic and foreign policy imperatives.”
The former Lagos State governor had come under heavy criticism in different quarters for choosing to turn down his invitation to Arise TV town hall meeting for a trip to London to honour his engagement at Chatham House.
But the North West APC PCC under the leadership of Governor
Bello Matawalle and his deputy zonal coordinator, Dr Salihu Lukman, defended
Tinubu instead.
In a statement issued on Thursday morning by the PCC
spokesperson, Muhammad Molash, the council commended the APC candidate on his
successful outing in London.
The statement read, “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 team-work
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 Gov 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 the 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.”
Tinubu was accompanied to the lecture by House of Representatives
Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila; Governors Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna), Abdullahi
Ganduje (Kano), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Abubakar Bello (Niger),

well as former governor of Ekiti, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and ex-National Chairman of
