Tinubu, a top contender, will slug it out with the Presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as well as other candidates from other political parties in the 2023 presidential election.
The former Lagos State Governor said “My quest to progressively drive Nigeria forward is the only reason I am running”.
He further said, others who are running don’t have any “iota of honesty in them” as “they can’t keep to their promises”.
Also, Tinubu said, he is aware that “all they are interested in is to insult me”, however, he made it clear that, he is a “wrestler”, but he won’t wrestle with anyone as he is focused on moving Nigeria forward.
Tinubu made these statements on Tuesday at the town hall meeting of the South-South region in Calabar, Cross River State.
He said: “My quest to progressively drive Nigeria forward is the only reason I am running; no other person is running with me.
“Those who say they are running have no iota of honesty in them; they can’t keep to their promises; all they are interested in is to insult me and yet, they don’t have facts.
“I am a wrestler, but I don’t wrestle with just anybody; my only concern is to move Nigeria forward,”
He added: “Moving Nigeria forward is a task that must be done, and anger, division, breaking apart will not solve it; it can only be achieved by being together.
“Let us conquer hunger rather than allowing hunger to conquer us. So, let’s come together and make great wealth for the nation and our people.”
