Nigeria’s former Chief of Army Staff, Amb (Lieutenant General) Tukur Buratai (Rtd) has said that the All Progressives Congress APC’s presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands a better chance of winning the 2023 presidential election owing to his pedigree and outstanding leadership qualities.
Ambassador Buratai who spoke in a recent interview noted that he believes the party means well for Nigeria, and also stands a better chance of winning the presidential elections.
“We are working round the clock to ensure that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu wins the election. I encourage you to vote for your choice, but if you want to hear my opinion, I will say vote for the APC.”
“My advice to Nigerians is to shun violence and disassociate themselves from any politician who wants to use violence to disrupt the system. Let’s allow the process to work as it should.
The former Army Chief now democrat expressed confidence that the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC would do a better job this year than in 2019, and hopeful that the elections will be peaceful, free, and fair.
“The PDP has been tested for 16 years; Nigerians should give APC the benefit of doubt for another 8 years. At the end of it if the APC does not meet their expectations, then they may wish to take a decisive action including democratic revolution. Nigeria should be much better than what it is today. The foundation laid since 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari must be carried on.” He added.
