EKO HOT BLOG reports that the standard bearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has said he is better, well-exposed, and more experienced than his fellow contestants in the presidential race.
The APC flagbearer said he can recreate the capacity, ability, and vision, as demonstrated in the infrastructural development in Lagos.
Tinubu made the remarks at a media briefing held at his Bourdillon residence in Lagos after casting his vote on Saturday afternoon.
He said: “I can say categorically I am better than the other candidates. I am well-exposed and have experience in the private sector.
“I can demonstrate that capacity, ability, and vision, as demonstrated in the infrastructural development in Lagos.
“I am confident that I will win the presidential election.”
Tinubu described President Muhammadu Buhari as a dedicated and sincere leader who faced many challenges when he took over the reins of government in 2015.
He listed the challenges Buhari faced including economic crunch, population growth, job creation, and insecurity, saying that there was a deep crash in oil prices when Buhari took over in 2015.
Tinubu said that oil production dropped from two million barrels a day to 900,000 barrels and this adversely affected the nation’s monolithic economy and was worsened by the failure of the nation’s security operatives to curb oil theft.
He said that he has articulated his agenda and set his priorities, such as enhancing partnerships between the private and public sectors, and revamping various segments of the economy in order to actualize the country’s dreams.
The APC flagbearer said the government must collaborate with the private sector to grow the economy.
