Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for president, cautioned his opponents on Saturday to stop plotting to assassinate him, adding that such a nefarious course of action would be ineffective.
A huge throng greeted Tinubu as he spoke to supporters at the Lagos APC presidential rally held at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos.
The former governor of Lagos State encouraged his followers to withdraw their PVCs from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in the 2023 elections. He was joined by his running partner, Senator Kashim Shettima.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the rally’s host, Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila, Governors of Kwara, Abdulrahman Abdulrazak, Kebbi, Atiku Bagudu, Kaduna, Nasir El-rufai, and Ogun, Dapo Abiodun, are also in attendance.
Others include the governors of Kogi, Yahya Bello, Ekiti, Biodun Oyebanji, Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje, Jigawa, Abubakar Badaru, the director general of PCC, Simon Lalong, the governor of the Plateau, Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the APC, Babatunde Fashola, the minister of works and housing, Olusegun Osoba, and former
“I am truly extremely thankful to God Almighty, to all of you people, and to the members of Buhari’s government,” Tinubu remarked in front of the audience. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
The PDP controlled for 16 years with no discernible effect, said Tinubu, adding, “All the APC governors have agreed to support me. We’ll all travel to the Villa together.
The chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Adamu, addressed the crowd and stated, “Lagos has spoken, and you have spoken well. You have come out in large numbers to demonstrate support.
“I’m trying to convince you that it won’t be over until it’s over. It won’t be finished until it is. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a solid candidate that the APC selected. He is the upcoming president.
In his remarks, Gbajabiamila stated, “We have come to excite the base.
Go out and invigorate the spring voters while you’re fired up. We’ve all been Batified here.
The most effective politician in Nigerian politics now is Tinubu.
Tell anyone who questions his age to visit his mother’s grave and speak with her there.
He is the presidential contender with the highest level of education.
It is time to invest in Tinubu, I want to tell our South East and South South brothers.
“I stand here on behalf of all the APC governors, and I applaud Lagosians for placing their belief in Asiwaju. Our party believes in Asiwaju,” stated Atiku Bagudu, the chairman of the Progressive Governors.
According to him, Tinubu will alter Nigeria in the same way that he did when he became governor of Lagos in 1999, just as the nation is facing difficulties right now.
“As we were arriving, I didn’t only see human beings, I saw fishes leaping inside water to celebrate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” said Simon Lalong, PCC director general and governor of Plateau State. The best candidate to succeed Buhari in 2023 is this one.
It is evident that Nigerians have chosen to support Tinubu and Shettima in the election. I am aware that philanthropy starts at home.
I am confident that he has the charm and ability to help Nigerians.
I want Lagosians to support him in the election. Some candidates will show up and present you with inaccurate data. You should keep your attention, Buhari has directed me to tell you.
Governor Sanwo-Olu thanked the audience for supporting Asiwaju Tinubu, the man credited with designing modern-day Lagos, in his welcoming speech. He is the national unifier who can unite the country.
He is the ideal candidate for the position.
“It’s an honor to collaborate with him. He is a man who is a wealth of information. Let me extend a warm welcome to the city that is everyone’s home.
