Adamu, who spoke at the Town Hall meeting between the APC candidate and stakeholders in the mining sector in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital on Thursday, said he was echoing President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement.
“Except God, President Buhari is the highest authority in Nigeria today. Buhari has said it and it shall come to pass,” the APC chairman stated.
Urging Tinubu to stand and the audience to also join him, Adamu declared that Tinubu will be President Buhari’s successor.
