All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will win the February 25 Presidential Election in Nigeria with a clear majority, Convener, Asiwaju Maritime Network, Malam Usman Ka’oje said at the weekend.

Speaking to newsmen shortly after the group’s walk-in support of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Apapa, they made it clear that Asiwaju would be Nigerians preferred candidate over Other Presidential Candidates, Peter Obi of Labour Party, LP and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Kaóje said the maritime sector would be harnessed by the APC presidential candidate for the greater good of the people and the country.

Nigeria needs a strategic thinker, goal-oriented leader with pragmatic vision. Nigeria needs someone that has the capacity to transform and convert potentials and opportunities into tangible results. Senator Bola Ahmed is truly a choice of the people. Maritime personnel in Nigeria are working hard to gain support for him all over the country’’.

Present at the road walk were the Director General, Arewa Support Movement, Mohammed Lawal, Mrs T.A Jakande, Barrister Shehu Popoola-Taiwo, Mr. Kolawale Saheed, Mr. Suleiman A. Daura, Mr. Usman Abdullahi, Mal. Abdullahi Jigawa and Olanrewaju Saheed among others.

‘’Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu will build a sound economy, set up an economic program, make the country prosperous, build a good transportation system and use federal money to build roads. We also expect him to put an end to poverty, underdevelopment and bad leadership in the country’’ Kaóje said.

He recalled Tinubu’s role in the development of Nigeria, particularly Lagos State. “Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu built, transformed and stabilized Lagos economy as the third largest economy in Africa. With Tinubu as the nation’s president, Nigeria will reclaim its lost glory as the giant of Africa.

Continuing, he said ‘’Tinubu will be a strong president. He will reform the prison system, address challenges in the manufacturing sector, protect the federal government from dishonesty, bring about greater democracy in Nigeria and improve the lives of persons with handicaps.

Also, the Secretary General of Asiwaju Maritime Network, Shehu Popoola-Taiwo described the APC presidential candidate as a transformer, bridge builder and a trusted leader.

‘’The maritime sector can feed the nation. Ahmed Bola Tinubu is the man who knows the road to a greater Nigeria. What he did as Lagos State governor twenty years back is what stands for him, and that is the reason why Nigerians are behind him. He is a transformer, bridge builder and a trusted leader that will lead Nigeria to a greater height and harness the resources in different parts of the country for the benefit of all.

He commended Nigerians for supporting the APC presidential candidate.

“We are here to show solidarity and support to Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu. He is a game changer, transformer and a man who can do it, and will do it for the maritime sector and other sectors in Nigeria.

You can see that the turnout for this road walk is amazing; people are here to support Asiwaju, despite the current hardship and challenges in the country. They know that the hardship will be over when Asiwaju becomes the president of Nigeria”
