Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairperson of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission (NDC), yesterday described All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the best candidate for the country.
He urged Nigerians to vote for the former Lagos State governor, claiming he is the best candidate for the presidential election next year.
Tinubu, according to Dabiri-Erewa, is an experienced and competent technocrat, astute politician, and great administrator whose pedigree and past achievements cannot be dismissed with a wave of the hand.
She stated that Tinubu’s accomplishments as governor of Lagos State were sufficient to persuade Nigerians that the country would be in safe hands if he were elected.
Dabiri-Erewa, a three-term House of Representatives member and ruling party chieftain, spoke to reporters in Lagos ahead of her 60th birthday next week.
She praised Jagaban Borgu as a talent hunter, great organizer, mobilizer, resourceful, tolerant, and accommodating leader.
Reflecting on Tinubu’s tenure in Lagos, Dabiri-Erewa stated that many Nigerians expected him to replicate the feat at the center.
She praised Tinubu’s initiative and the power of ideas for increasing revenue generation in Lagos State.
She recalled the eminent politician presided over an Executive Council (Exco) of talents who worked for the state’s development across sectors.
Dabiri-Erewa praised Tinubu for his contributions to national integration, unity, and cohesion by broadening political participation to include non-indigenes and other Nigerians.
“We can see what Asiwaju Tinubu has done in Lagos,” she said. Who wouldn’t want him to do that on a national scale? “Asiwaju Tinubu is the best candidate for Nigeria.”
