Tinubu: I’m ready to lead Nigeria to greater glory

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has reiterated his readiness to provide leadership to take the country to “greater glory”.

Tinubu said he and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, are prepared to lead Nigeria in achieving a secure and prosperous country.

He said this in a statement he personally issued on Wednesday and titled, ‘Message to Nigerians’.

The APC presidential candidate noted that the country stands on the threshold of history just as other nations are confronted with challenges, adding Nigerians must get it right ahead of the 2023 general election.

Tinubu said Nigerians must show they have learned from the mistakes of the past, noting that they must choose progress over sentiment.

He stated: “Today marks the official commencement of 2023 presidential election activities across the country.

“I invite all Nigerians to join me and His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima on this exciting and important journey as we set out a 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, 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 on 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 cannot 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 vision. I call on all Nigerians to please join us,” Tinubu said.
