Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that when elected as president of Nigeria in 2023, he will rule for eight years.
Tinubu, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the APC, stated that after he might have ruled for two terms, he will hand over to a smart politician with the largest number of followers.
The foremost APC chieftain said this in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Friday night during his presidential consultations with traditional rulers in the state.
He met with the traditional rulers across the three Senatorial districts in the state.
The former Lagos State Governor maintained that if he becomes the president in 2023, he will turn around the country for good.
While lamenting that Nigeria was yet to attain her greatness, Tinubu stated that he will not only ensure massive job opportunities for Nigerian youths, but also establishment of industries across the country.
According to him “It is true that I want to contest the 2023 presidency. I want to win the election for our people.
“Nigeria has the potential to compete with Russia in oil and gas exploration, if we harness our resources properly; and if there is stable electricity, Nigeria will also compete with other nations in manufacturing.
“I am here to seek the blessing of our royal fathers for my presidential ambition, because I know where the problems are and if given the opportunity in 2023, Nigeria will be ranked among the best nations in the world.
“I am imploring all eligible voters to get their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) revalidated for them to exercise their civic responsibilities,” Tinubu said.
“When I rule for eight years consecutively, I will drop it. The smartest and someone with the most followers will take over from me after I finish my term.
