“We Must Favour Reason Over Sentiment” – Tinubu Charges Nigerians As Campaign Begins

The campaign activities for the 2023 presidential election has started.

Front runner, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu – candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) – identifies determining factors in a “Message To Nigerians” that reads….

Today marks the commencement of the 2023 presidential election campaign activities across the country.

I invite all Nigerians to join me and HE Senator Kashim Shettima on this exciting and important journey as we set our shared vision of Renewed Hope for the people of our dear country, Nigeria.

We will, in the weeks and months ahead, be taking our dream of a functional, safe and secure and prosperous Nigeria to every part of Nigeria and we will continue to put forward our plan to lead this country towards its best future.

Our nation stands at a threshold of history. We, like almost every other nation in the world, face significant challenges. Some have been of our own making, others, the consequences of factors well beyond the control of any Nigerian. However, one thing remains certain – we can not afford to get this one wrong.

We must show that we have learned from the mistakes of the past. We must be prepared to make difficult decisions. We must be wise, we must be discerning, We must choose progress. We must favour reason over sentiment.

I am prepared and ready, with my running mate, to provide the leadership that will inspire our country to greater glory with new thinking, innovative ideas and new vision.

I call on all Nigerians to please join us.
