“Whosoever wins the presidential election in 2023 will be confronted with monumental challenges and opportunities within and outside the country that will test the mettle of such a president.

“Nigeria is at a delicate stage of its developmental process and needs a President with a hand on experience and Senator Tinubu who has governed Lagos, the most commercial of Nigeria 36 States deserves to be given an opportunity to pilot Nigeria affairs from May 29, 2023,”
