Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has told Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to get ready to assume the presidency of Nigeria, from May 29, 2023.
Adamu, who spoke emphatically at the Town Hall meeting on Thursday in Lafia between the APC candidate and stakeholders in the mining sector, said he was merely echoing President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement.
“Except God, President Buhari is the highest authority in Nigeria today. Buhari has said it and it shall come to pass”, Adamu stated.
Urging Tinubu to stand and the audience to also join him, Adamu declared the APC candidate will be the next president.
He urged voters not only in Nasarawa, but also in the adjoining states to vote massively for the party and its candidate.
He urged Tinubu to get ready for the task to shoulder the demands of leading Nigeria.
His statement drew wild applause for minutes in the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Lafia.
The crowded hall, which had Governors Simon Lalong, Babagana Zulum and Aminu Masari, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, in attendance, was rent with the shouts of Jagaban of Nigeria.
Adamu later prayed to God to ensure victory for the party so that APC will hand over to APC next year May.
Host Governor Sule similarly envisioned an Asíwájú victory and called him several times in his speech as ‘Nigeria’s next President’.
Sule gave a comprehensive overview of the mineral deposits in the state, including marble, lithium, barite and others.
Tinubu, in his response, promised that help is on the way to industrialise the state for prosperity.
Senator Tanko Al-Makura, a former governor of the state, who also welcomed Tinubu, later presented a crafted gift to him in appreciation of being a media friendly politician.
