President Muhammadu Buhari calls Bola Tinubu, the
presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the next
president of Nigeria.
Speaking at the party’s campaign in Nasarawa on Saturday,
Buhari described the former governor of Lagos as a “competent Nigerian”, who
will give all he has for the country.
“I’m very pleased today to be part of this campaign for Bola
Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he
said.
“We will win through and through. I trust Tinubu’s
dedication and service. I have known Bola Tinubu for more than 20 years. I will
continue to campaign for him. He is a committed Nigerian and I believe he will
give everything to make Nigeria better.
“He loves this
country. He is a believer in Nigeria and I am sure he will do everything
possible to advance the well-being of all of us as citizens. He will hold this
country with trust. You should cherish him.”
Buhari’s statement comes amid reports of rancour in the APC,
after Tinubu’s outburst during the party’s presidential rally in Ogun, where he
expressed dissatisfaction over the fuel and currency scarcity in the country.
“Even if you change the ink on naira notes, what you want
will not happen. We will win. That umbrella party will lose. We will take this
government from them — saboteurs that are dragging power with us,” said Tinubu
in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun.
Meanwhile, the president had declared his support for the
naira redesign policy, stating that it would deter politicians from “mobilising
resources to intimidate voters in the 2023 general election”.
