2023: No Candidate is as Qualified as Tinubu, Says Wase

-
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Idris Wase, has assured the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, of his total support in the build-up to the 2023 general election and beyond. Speaking when he received Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (ABAT) Support Group, which was on a courtesy call in his office on Thursday, the deputy Speaker reiterated his earlier stand on the capacity of Tinubu. According to him, there’s no candidate in any political party that can match the quality and candidature of Tinubu. He expressed optimism that the APC would come out victorious with the overwhelming majority in both chambers of the National Assembly. According to him, "I want to assure you that we in the House of Representatives, particularly members of the APC, shall collaborate with every organisation to ensure victory for the Tinubu/Shetima ticket. I charge you to go out in full force and campaign for Asiwaju. We have good products to sell, this is somebody that had turned around the economy of Lagos within a short time and has built people across the country, irrespective of region or religion. I charged you all to go out in full force with your head high seeking those votes as you have a good product to sell to Nigerians. I urged you not to relent in ensuring the victory for our candidates." Earlier, the National Coordinator of the organisation, Hon. Oyinkansola Okiwuyi, said they were in the National Assembly to seek the support and cooperation of the deputy Speaker and to also inform him about the strategy they are using to galvanise and solicit for votes. He said the organisation is seeking not only support for Tinubu but the entire APC structure, so that the party would have an overwhelming majority in the states and National Assembly.
