We have made tremendous progress irrespective of what anybody would say. Our political development since 1999 has been slow, but on steady growth.
Minister of State, Labour and Employment and chief spokesperson, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council , Festus Keyamo spoke to OBIRE ONAKEMU on how non-state actors have been threatening peaceful conduct of the general elections and factors that favour All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Why do you think Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is more competent than other candidates? And what are his chances of winning the presidential election? Tinubu has history of performance; history of vision; history of building and fighting for democratic institutions, you know that such a particular President will also uphold all the tenets of democracy, which are necessary to build on our democracy.
This is a comment coming from an opposition that does not have even one house; that doesn’t have all the governors campaigning for them; that doesn’t have key members buying into their presidential campaign council and no key governor is coming out of their presidential campaign. This is a statement coming from a party that today spends half of their campaign airtime replying each other – either Wike’s camp replying Atiku’s camp or Atiku’s camp replying Wike’s camp. They are not campaigning.
So, we should work towards that, and we are working towards that to let Nigerians know that it is not about capacity and performance. That is where l think we are going and Nigerians are confident to prove that on February 25.
