National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has said that he is in the presidential race to unite and develop the country.
Tinubu stated this on Thursday in Akure, the Ondo State capital, while on a visit to canvass for votes from the state delegates.
He said: “I am in the race to unite the country and bring development. We are good people that can all work together to savage the nation against all odds.
“We are one good people of great mindsets that are endowed with both human and natural resources. All we need is that man, that individual who will unite us and take us to the next level.
“We will be backward if we fail to get the right person on board this time around. Nigeria must move forward from the level we are at the moment.”
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, had earlier acknowledged that Bola Tinubu is the candidate to beat in the forthcoming presidential election in Nigeria.
Akeredolu said further that Tinubu was rich in knowledge, and has what it takes to rule the nation effectively well.
He insisted that the south should be allowed to produce the president in 2023 for the sake of the unity of the country.
“I am bold to say again that the south should be allowed to be president and as well, Bola Tinubu is rich in knowledge and has the capacity to rule therefore, must be considered because I know the cap fits him,” Akeredolu said.
