The Zamfara State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will ensure Nigeria attains economic prosperity and security, if voted President in next year’s general election.
The party’s Publicity Secretary in the state,
Alhaji Yusuf Idris, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Abuja.
“If Nigerians elect Asiwaju Tinubu, there will be major critical changes in terms of economic prosperity in the country. So, Nigerians should vote for him,” he said.
Idris expressed confidence that Nigerians would smile if they elect the former Lagos State governor in 2023, saying: “I believe many Nigerians will smile.”
According to him, the APC presidential candidate is a renowned technocrat who will give a deeper approach to bolster the nation’s economic system.
He said: “He (Asiwaju Tinubu) has vast experience in economics, security and governance. He is capable of consolidating the achievements of President Muhamamdu Buhari and even surpass him.
“He will surpass him because every good father will want his son to inherit him and Asiwaju Tinubu will be a good successor to President Buhari.”
Idris described the APC presidential candidate as a believer in the democratic system and its ideals.
Also, in continuation of his strategic engagement with players in key sectors of the economy, Asiwaju Tinubu will today in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, hold a town hall meeting with the mining community.

Also, Asiwaju Tinubu has appointed Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu to chair the Agricultural Development Committee of his Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
