As Nigerians count days to the February 25 2023 Presidential election, the office of the Lagos State All Progressives Congress APC Youth Leaders has made it known that the Presidential Candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains unperturbed and appears more confident than ever – this ‘confidence’ should be studied rather than ignored.
In the political landscape of Nigeria, “Jagaban” as he is foundly called is no minnow to be discountenanced in the scheme of things.
Like an expert who has paid their dues in any field, Tinubu has entrenched a legendary status in the political arena of the country with his administrative and activism feats that have earned him a place in the top echelons of the political pyramids in Nigeria.
Tinubu is one of the smartest politicians in Nigeria who works with political data in making decisions and micro-targeting his campaign goals to the right demographics. Hence his ability, more than any candidate to cross the long bridge dividing the northern and southern part of Nigeria ahead of the presidential election.
Tinubu’s machinery brought many politicians to power and same aligned with other forces to end the career of heavyweight public office holders.
For over 20 years, Tinubu has relentlessly invested in deepening his political structures which spread across the country. It is, therefore, uncontestable to say Tinubu’s contact, network and political grassroots structures is the most efficient among the major contenders eyeing Aso Villa.
Tinubu has the mind of a genius and is not ruled by caprices and emotion, instead, he is rational, kindhearted, enterprising and magnanimous in his dealings with people. Many events, activities and circumstances have affirmed these virtues outlined above.
He met Lagos State with average revenue outlets, limited local council for a densely populated metropolitan city and saw the urgent need for a world-class development. Tinubu worked out viable modalities and initiated a blueprint for new Lagos. Within a few years of his tenure; he expanded the state revenue outlets and quadrupled the state revenue to an unprecedented percentage.
With this acumen for public administrative groundwork, Tinubu is unarguably the most qualified candidate to occupy Nigeria’s presidential office in 2023.
