The aspirant for the Presidential race under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has declared that he is different from other aspirants, boasting that he has track records to make him next president of the country.
Penpushing reports that, Tinubu made this known when he met Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari and All Progressives Congress (APC) delegates in the state, explaining that he joined the contest to address sorry condition of the country.
The former Governor of Lagos State boasted that he has the experience to turn around the country round for better, especially in the economic and security sectors to ensure that Nigerians benefit from its resources to unite the country.
“Anybody can run but not everybody can become President. You have to have the track records, experience, vision, training and the developmental programme – a vision of changing a nation from poverty to prosperity. I’ve it all; I’m different from them. They’re candidates, they’re aspirants but I’m an aspirant’, Tinubu said.
“It happened when Mr President was contesting. They said he (Buhari) cannot win the presidency. We worked together and he won. The second one, they all abandoned him, we say no; he has his second term. And he said the thing is over anybody who wants it can run’, he added.
Penpushing further reports that, Tinubu promised to bring an end to incessant strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities,(ASUU), if elected pointing out that it is unacceptable for strikes to continue depriving Nigerian students of their right to education.
“Four years of university should be four years. Some of our children are spending six to 10 years in school. The strike is not acceptable. We will spend resources and investment necessary to move education forward in this country,” he said.
The Governor of Katsina State, while speaking said Tinubu is a leader who deserves respect from everyone, and commended him for being a true Nigerian who gave every Nigerian a chance to participate in government when he was the Governor of Lagos.
“The current vice president is from Ogun. Lai Muhammad is from Kwara … Aregbsola is from Osun. Architect Kabir, our own from Maiadua here is a Commissioner in Lagos State. Faleke is from Kogi. It goes to show the kind of person Asiwaju is. In his cabinet, there were Igbos…not Igbos of Lagos origin… He gave them a chance. Asiwaju is a cosmopolitan leader,” he said.
