Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has vowed that he won’t disappoint President Muhammadu Buhari if elected president of the country in 2023.
Tinubu made this vow at a private dinner, organised by family and very close associates of President Buhari to celebrate his 80th birthday, tagged: “Celebrating A Patriot, A Leader, An Elder Statesman.”
The APC presidential candidate commended President Buhari for making significant sacrifices for Nigeria’s advancement.
He said, “You have been at the helm of the affairs of this country at a critical time. We have seen a life of commitment, dedication, patriotism and honesty. Mr. President, you have done well for your country. Our nation has seen the difference, the leadership that you demonstrate”.
He likened Buhari to leaders like “Charles De Gaulle of France, Franklin Roosevelt of America, Winston Churchill of Great Britain and Buhari of Nigeria.”
The APC flagbearer, who was in attendance with his running mate, Kashim Shettima, said, “The leadership you have demonstrated reminded me of the speech you gave at the Primary Convention when you won the nomination. You thanked the people with all humility and said even if you had the money, you would not have paid. But that is because they know who you are, a man of integrity, great commitment, transparency and exceptional humility”.
