More Presidential Aspirants Good For Democracy — Tinubu Reveals
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Presidential Candidate, has stated that the growing number of aspirants vying for the party’s presidential ticket is a positive for Nigeria’s democracy.
Tinubu made the remarks following a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
While responding to a question from journalists on the increasing number of presidential aspirants in the APC, Tinubu said, “The more the merrier. The more they come, the more challenging it becomes for you to think deeply, focus on issues and be ready to serve Nigeria.
“It’s all about service, it’s nothing else. Think wisely, get committed to your thinking to serve the nation and bring progress and prosperity to the lives of Nigerians.
“It’s good for the country for so many of us to aspire to want to lead. We are not abandoning our nation. But there’s only one chair and one possibility. We will do that.”
As regards concerns about the unity of the APC after the primary elections, the former governor expressed confidence that the party would remain united.
The APC chieftain paid Buhari a Sallah homage at the Villa, his official residence.
