” We will do our best for Nigeria. It is not going to be easy at the starting point.”

He expressed confidence that the party would not lose any of the progressive governors to other parties, saying,:”we will work together to run this government”.

Tinubu urged the electorate to use their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to defeat the PDP Presidential Candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, describing him as a serial contestant over the years.

“It is not only human beings that are happy with Asiwaju, I saw fishes jumping for Asiwaju on our way here, and we are anxiously waiting for the victory in 2023.

“Asiwaju stands tall among all the other candidates because he has demonstrated it when he was the governor of Lagos state. He has built several leaders across the length and breath of the country.

“Since he became the governor of the state, he has maintained the legacy and also building bridges across the state, and that is why wherever you go today, it is very clear that Nigerians have decided to vote for Asiwaju and Shettima in the presidential election,” Lalong said.

“I want to urge you all not to be deceived and do not support other candidates that will give you fictitious statistics, they are there to deceive you.

“Asiwaju Tinubu is the best candidate and the most suitable person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari. Tinubu is a good manager of people and resources. We know he can take Nigeria to greater heights.
