According to the Speaker of the House of Representatives — Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) stands clear from all candidates eyeing the apex seat in 2023, looking at their political antecedents.
Gbajabiamila claimed that during Tinubu’s eight years as governor of Lagos State, his accomplishments thumps those of his opponents who have also served the people across diverse political posts.
Speaking during a meeting with leaders of Community Development Associations (CDAs) in Surulere, Lagos State today, Gbajabiamila said: “Today, they say there are four, three or four front-runner presidential candidates. There was something that I used to say many years ago. I used to say it is not by mouth, it is by what you do, the seeds that you’ve sown.
“So, today, I ask people of all the front runners, they all have records; Asiwaju has a record of 8 years as governor; Peter Obi has a record of 8 years as governor in Anambra; Atiku has a record as Vice President for 8 years. When you put their records side by side: there is no competition whatsoever, Asiwaju stands tall shoulders above everybody.
“In his (Tinubu’s) case, Lagos is not even like a state; Lagos is like a country in terms of population, in terms of density, in terms of different people in the state and look at what he has been able to do.
“This election is the one that we must campaign based on persuasion, for us to go out there and talk to those who are still sitting on the fence, who are persuaded based on religion, or ethnicity. Let them be persuaded by records, that is what I want from you,” he said.
Recall that on the 24th of December, Gbajabiamila also promised Nigerians that Tinubu will be President of all, if elected into power.
