As the general elections draw closer, the presidential candidate of the ruling All progressive congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday pledged to ensure a sound working relationship with his running mate Senator Kashim Shettima if voted into power.
Speaking during a national youth town hall meeting held in Abuja, he took a jibe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo who had a turbulent relationship with his running mate Atiku Abubakar when he was on the saddle between 1999 to 2007.
Reiterating his stance that Obasanjo’s decision to endorse the presidential candidate of the labour party Peter Obi remains worthless, he expressed optimism that he would hand his rivals in the race for the exalted seat of the presidency a resounding defeat at the poll. Recalling how he mentored dozens of youths including the Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila and his predecessor Dimeji Bankole over the years, he assured the teeming population of youths in the country that he would create the enabling environment that would ensure they actualize their potentials in life.
Director General of the APC campaign council, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state stressed the need to elect Tinubu at the poll in view of the fact that none of the candidates angling for the seat of the presidency can come near Tinubu on mentorship of young persons to occupy various elective and appointive seats.
