Tinubu thanks APC delegates, Buhari, party leaders, says 'we must keep PDP out of power'

All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed his gratitude to the delegates of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders for his victory as the standard bearer of the party in the next presidential election.

Tinubu polled 1,271 votes to clinch the Party's nomination ahead of his closest rival, Rotimi Amaechi, former Minister of Transportation who got 316 votes. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo polled 235 votes, while Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan got 152 votes. Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello got 47 delegates votes.

Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu who was the Chairman of the Convention's Election Management Committee declared Tinubu winner of the presidential nomination primary.

Tinubu in his acceptance speech spoke on the journey ahead of the party to victory in the general elections and noted that the party must work to ensure PDP does not return to power after 16 years of colossal failure.

"They ruined our economy. They left abandoned projects. How many abandoned projects did they leave behind? We must keep the key of our treasury away from them. PDP must not be allowed to return back to power."

Tinubu thanked President Muhammadu Buhari, National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Wife of President, Aisha Buhari, Speaker of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, APC Governors, members of National Assembly for their support while he also expressed his profound gratitude to his co-contestants and the aspirants who stepped down for him for the victory.

"I specially thank my fellow contestants who stepped down for me. You did so because you believe in my brain and that does not in any way diminish you."

In the speech, he addressed the economic, social, security and political challenges facing the country.

He promised to provide the right leadership to tackle them headlong to make the country prosperous, if elected next February.

The APC Presidential candidate said he has the brain and the know-how to turn the country around, adding that he will set up a competent team to help him make the country better.

He bemoaned the fate of the country for being a consuming nation and one that uses automobiles and other consumer goods that it can not produce.

"We use cars. We can not even produce their brake pads," he lamented.

As President of Nigeria, Tinubu promised his administration will dredge the Calabar Port to allow bigger ships to come in and build a productive economy where manufacturing and local production of goods and services will be the bedrock of economy.

Asiwaju Tinubu had special appreciation for members of Nigeria's armed forces and other security agencies who work day and night away from their families to keep the country save.

"I want to thank our men and women in uniform who stay away from their families to keep us safe. We say thank you," Tinubu said.

On those who cause ethnic and religious strife that have led to the death of many innocent Nigerians, and spreading hatred and division in the country, Tinubu told the delegates and supporters to tell them when they return home to stop.

"Tell Nigerians that we are not the barbaric people they think we are. Religion is mostly adopted by birth and we continue in them. The life you take, you cannot bring back. The hate you spill cannot cure your hunger.

We are human beings and we must live together. We must have tolerance and love for each other."

At the end of his speech which was largely extempore, President Buhari, National Chairman of APC, Governors and other leaders joined Tinubu and his wife on stage to present the party flag to him as the duly elected Presidential candidate.

Atiku wins. Hear me out, I'm from the North, we vote along religion and ethnic lines. Tinubu is Yoruba and half Muslim. His VP will be christian. Atiku is Hausa, Fulani-kanuri and Muslims. They are both corrupt, we simply vote our own corrupt (Atiku) at least he will steal and invest it in the north. Muslim/Muslim ticket is still a defeat for tinubu.


Atiku wins
Atiku wins
Atiku is the next president.

Congratulations Jagaban.
Delegates have spoken while Nigerians would decide at the poll.
Wishing all the candidates all the best at we edge closer to the 2023 election.
God bless Nigeria and well meaning Nigerians.

Tinubu's victory is a testament that Nigeria is a country that detest development.

GO TO HELL TINUBU

Damn!
is this about PDP or any other political party?
no plans to make Nigeria better,with the type of people we elect into power,i don't think Nigeria will be better anytime soon!

That man was able to defeat the following people
1. President
2. Vice President
3. Senate president
4. sitting governors
5. Ministers
6. Party chairman
7. Children of hate

He literally hijacked the party structure from those above.

See ehn, hate in peace but there’s something to learn from him despite your opposition.

Hate apart this guy can really make things happen just like we had in Lagos,u can see he’s not quoting figures out of context to impress anyone

I believe this guy will do better cos he has one been tested n he proved it beyond reasonable doubt that he can be trusted

Apc...Progressives. Happy for Tinubu!

We as Nigerians must keep APC & PDP out of power.

Awon werey gbogbo.

His main campaign point is to keep PDP out.

Youths, wise up. Do not let the people who died in Lekki tollgate be in vain!

Let's see who wins the general election

APC as a party has failed woefully. We don't want this again. Nigerians are tired of old people who are power drunk and only after their selfish interest. You can't tell or convince me that Tinubu is better than Osinbajo and Amaechi, who are sound in mind and in brain.

Nigerians would have considered this party if they fielded someone like Osinbajo, but to tell you the selfishness of the people in the party, from the Governors to the delegates, they allowed money to rule their conscience and vote in an old man. Tinubu is a disgrace to Nigeria and the youths, imagine Tinubu representing us in diaspora meetings. He has already started to run his mouth anyhow, to tell you that old age is already catching up with his brain. Imagine Tinubu in the next eight years as the president of Nigeria.

Atiku is not a saint, but at least he and PDP are miles better than this party and their reps. Atiku is not the best PDP should have presented us, but we rather choose a more vibrant, healthy and lively fellow in Atiku and PDP than this.

How do Nigerians make this hard decision?
How long do we have deal with recycled old hags of politicians
Tinubu has shown clearly that his political ambition this time is a do or die affair,
He demonstrated it recently in the trending video.
Is Atiku a better candidate
Does any politician has the interest of the masses at heart

Emi lokan 2023

Why are they shouting pdp when they are still in power? Why not tell us what u want to do

this man don dey get mouth now, e go choke am very soon

Truth be told, if I am asked to choose one man to learn the ART OF POLITICS from, it will be BOLA AHMED TINUBU�. Leave all sentiments aside, I will gladly sit at the feet of Bola because he is a POLITICAL MAESTRO cum JUGGERNAUT. Omoooo, with his shaky hands and unsteady feet, the man got "around" 50% of the APC aspirants to step down for him. He beat the Northern Cabal to it's game and wearied out the APC National Chairman..."Tinubu 101" should hanceforth be studied as a course in all Political Science Departments across Nigeria. It is imperative we study a man who has survived so long, moving from NADECO to founding the ACN to Co-founding the APC and now becoming a Presidential Candidate�.

Delegates are the problem of the country but I am confident in one thing. APC can never win the presidency for mistakingly presenting a MUSLIM candidate despite just enjoying 8years of that..
The country is this way because Christians would rather support the enemy of their so called religion for money sake, an act Muslims won't do.
I really admire the person of Tinubu but the right thing will be done come next year. Mumuric isn't shouting Injustice now, everyone will have their share of this in years to come, we are watching
