Nigeria right now needs a leader like President Bola Tinubu, who possesses the capacity to deliver on good governance processes to lift the country to greater heights, says the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje.
He spoke on Thursday in Abuja when he received a delegation of South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) led by Senator Dayo Adeyeye at the national secretariat of the party.
Ganduje recalled that Tinubu’s antecedents as Governor of Lagos State where he not only performed creditably but laid foundations for strong institutions for sustainability of the State, which can now be replicated in he whole country.
He commended SWAGA members for their untiring efforts towards ensuring that Nigeria gets Tinubu into Aso Rock Villa for the benefit of all citizens.
According to Ganduje: “Just like SWAGA, some of us started it in the heart. I believed that our principal is the right man we have been yearning for to mount the leadership of the country. He has succeeded in doing that before now.
“You have to assess people from where they are coming from, you have to look at their C.V, their disposition towards leadership, and not just support people from the blues.
“Nigeria is too big for that. Asiwaju is a man of institutions, and a man known for developing institutions. That is why we have sustainability in Lagos State. Lagos State is sustainable not because he was governor for 20 years but because he laid the foundation for sustainability.
“Lagos today is one of the greatest states in Nigeria and Africa. We supported him because we want a mirror image of that kind of sustainability for Nigeria. Asiwaju is equal to the task.
“He will reform the system, the economy, the institutions and address all the social economic issues to take Nigeria to the next level. We believe he would make a big mark of change in Nigeria.”
Adeyeye congratulated Ganduje and the National Secretary of the party, Senator Ajibola Bashir, for their emergence and pledged their support to the new leaders.
He described Ganduje as an uncommon loyalist of President Tinubu who would surely reposition the party to achieve greatness.
The group, with members drawn from all walks of life, also pledged to continue to garner support for Tinubu’s administration.
