Ahead of the 2023 general election, the National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Iyiola Omisore, says no candidate comes close to Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the party, in terms of competence and capacity.
Speaking with journalists on Monday after a meeting with party leaders at the APC secretariat in Lagos, Omisore said Tinubu is the best choice for Nigerians.
The APC scribe said the meeting was informed by the need to strategise ahead of the 2023 elections.
Omisore urged members of the party and the south-west zone to work together to ensure the emergence of Tinubu as the next president of Nigeria.
“Election is very near and luckily for us the presidential candidate for the party (APC) is from the south-west,” he said.
“We are working ahead of time to be proactive and to sensitise our people on the need to vote for our candidate.
“Luckily for us, for the first time in recent years, we have a candidate coming from Lagos state.
“We have reasons to be voted for. We have landmass which we can point at. We are just looking as a party to strategise and plan ahead of our elections.
“We have to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and APC in all elections. He is the only choice we have and that is the best we can have at this point in time.
“There is no alternative to him. How do you compare them? From where to where?”
Omisore said that the party intends to showcase the achievements and capacity of Tinubu in the last 20 years and would do its best to sell its candidate and correct some of the wrong and erroneous narrative outside. He added that Tinubu had done a lot to move Lagos state forward on all fronts and deserved to be elected president of Nigeria.
The closed-door zonal meeting had many leaders of the party in the South-West in attendance.
