I Will Create Prosperity For All Nigerian Family - President Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has urged his supporters to remain calm ahead of the February 25 presidential election.

Tinubu stated this on Monday at a meeting attended by First Class South West traditional rulers.

Tinubu was accompanied by his running mate, Kashim Shettima, a Senator and former Governor of Borno State.

We have done everything we need to do, so, Keep your mind at rest,” the APC co-founder said.

Also at the event were House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy Femi Hamazat.

Ekiti Governor Biodun Oyebanji, former Osun Governor Gboyega Oyetola, retired Methodist Archbishop of Ilesa and Ibadan, Pa. Ayo Ladigbolu, among others, attended.

Tinubu will on Saturday go head-to-head against Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; Rabiu Kwankwaso, New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP.

APC Campaign Blasts Atiku

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has described the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, as a desperate and chameleonic politician.

Naija News reports that the Council said the desperation of the former Vice President to become the next President has made him become insensitive to the plight of Nigerians

The Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, stated this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

Onanuga regretted that with just five days to the presidential election, Atiku wanted to cash in on the mood of the country with what he termed the “latest faux empathy” of the former vice president.

He recalled that Atiku had earlier asked the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) not to shift the deadline for the naira swap policy and once described the suffering Nigerians are going through as some “little inconvenience”.

Onanuga said in his “inconsistencies and unreliability, Atiku has advanced several contradictory positions, in the fruitless hope of gaining a political advantage” from the naira scarcity.

The APC chieftain said Atiku and his party first applauded the CBN policy when they initially thought it was a policy deliberately designed to stop Tinubu from becoming the next elected president of Nigeria.

He, therefore, asked Nigerians to reject Atiku for his inconsistencies, noting that a “man like the PDP candidate with no strong conviction and strength of character cannot offer the kind of leadership our country needs.”
