PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu to succeed him in office, saying he has what it takes to make Nigeria better.
The President stated this while speaking on Saturday, 4th February 2023, in Nasarawa State at the APC presidential campaign.
According to the President, if Tinubu is elected as the next president in 2023, he will not fail Nigerians.
Buhari added that he trusts the dedication and service of the former Lagos State governor.
Addressing the crowd of supporters at the rally, Buhari said: “We are all voting for Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next President; he is a committed Nigerian, and he will not fail you.
“Asiwaju, you’re going to win through and through, you’re the next President of Nigeria. I trust in your dedication and service….”
Meanwhile, Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State has revealed that the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, knows those he is referring to as ‘Aso Villa elements’ working against the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall that the Kaduna State governor had on Wednesday accused some unnamed persons in the presidential Villa of working towards the failure of the APC in the forthcoming election.
Responding to El-Rufai’s assertion, Lai Mohammed, while addressing State House Correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting last Wednesday, noted that the Presidency is unaware of those in its fold working against the APC. He stated that President Muhammadu Buhari is solidly behind Tinubu.
But the governor, in an interview with Arise TV, insisted that the Information Minister knows the individual elements in the Villa that are working against the ruling party.
