Why I’m the Best Candidate to Replace President Buhari – Tinubu

Bola Tinubu has stated that he is qualified to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Tinubu made his case through the Tinubu Campaign Organisation’s Director of Media and Communication, Bayo Onanuga.

He claimed Tinubu’s achievements as governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007 qualified him to be the party’s flagbearer.

Tinubu appeared before the APC screening committee on Monday to defend his presidential ambition in front of a committee led by a former APC national chairman, John Oyegun, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
In the statement, Onanuga said, “He (Tinubu) confidently told the panel why he is qualified to fly the flag of APC as its presidential candidate.

“He cited his success as governor of Lagos State, raising the internal revenue generation of the state from a paltry N600 million monthly, which has now grown to N51 billion today.”

Onanuga added that Tinubu demonstrated a vast knowledge of economic management and a perfect understanding of Nigeria’s political economy in his answers.

Tinubu was also said to have cited his invitation to Enron to start the first state-backed power generation project in the country and how Nigeria would need to take the power transmission lines as a highway.

Questions asked the APC National Leader included his upbringing, and educational and professional background.

“Tinubu impressed the panel during the screening process with the way and manner he answered and provided insight into many of the questions asked.

“The screening committee expressed satisfaction with Tinubu’s knowledge of the economy and socio-political issues that are affecting the country,” Onanuga stated.
