“I Am Most Qualified To Become President…Buhari Told Me Go Ahead” – Tinubu

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the most talked-about aspirant in the race to determine the next President of Nigeria insists he is the “most qualified.”

The former Governor of Lagos state asserted on Friday, February 4, 2022, at the place of the Olugbo of Igbo Oba Frederick Obateru Akinruntan.

The Olugbo who stated that “Without him, the country cannot move” declared Tinubu as “our president” regardless of other aspirants in the race.

Asiwaju Tinubu while responding stated that “I am the most qualified to become the president. I will ensure that our children get employed, there will be industries and all-around development across the country.”

The former governor of Lagos State – 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007 – also revealed why he informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his ambition and what he was told “I have gone to inform Buhari that I want to contest, particularly that it is remaining few months for him. It is not a matter of fight. The constitution stipulated it. Buhari told me to go ahead and declare.

“I informed Buhari so that people were not saying who did I inform before taking the decision”

The builder of men with friends in all parts of the country went on to provide an insight into what fuels his politics “I don’t run away from battles. I am very particular and passionate about democracy. During MKO, we tried, but we could not get it. When they met us, we sought your support, and Buhari became the president.”
