Applauding El-Rufai, Tinubu noted that Nigeria needs a thinker like the governor.

He said, “I am confidently telling you that I will win with your support and I know you are very supportive of me. I know that I am at home here in Kaduna.

“We will continue to prioritise the restoration of peace and security across all our territories. I am confident. Under my leadership, the government will place emphasis on the use of counterinsurgency doctrine as strategy by our military. We will fight it together.”

Tinubu assured El-Rufai that under his watch as president, no part of the country would be conceded to terrorists and robbers.

“We will continue to train and equip our gallant forces and security personnel with resources, equipment and technology necessary to eliminate crime in our society.

“Nigeria will succeed and grow to prosperity. I assure you. I will champion an efficient government that will eliminate revenue leakages across federal areas leveraging technology…”

Tinubu also urged El-Rufai to remain in Nigeria in 2023 to work with him.
