Tinubu’s age not barrier, says APC chieftain

Mike Msuaan, a leader of the All Progressive Congress, has criticized opposition parties and critics of the ruling party’s presidential nominee, Bola Tinubu, who saw his age as an impediment.Information Guide Nigeria

This is because he claimed that the former governor of Lagos State has no objections to the implementation of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System for the general election in 2023.

The politician made the statement during a Thursday meeting with dozens of party leaders in Abuja.

Msuaan, who is the Director of National Youth Mobilisation (North Central) for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, asked them to take a page out of Joe Biden’s book.

He said, “The US president is as old as Tinubu. It’s not about age. It’s about what you have upstairs. Tinubu has the experience better than all of them.

“The right thing the president would do is to assemble the best hands for the country. He has been tested and trusted. He did it in Lagos and he is going to do it for Nigeria.”

The director of youth mobilization for the PCC continued by stating that he and his followers had begun a door-to-door campaign and were refining plans to ensure that Tinubu received at least 70% of the vote in the North-Central geopolitical zone in the 2023 elections.NYSC portal

When questioned whether Tinubu was okay with the deployment of BVAS and electronic transmission of election results, the Msuaan stated that, contrary to the widespread rumor, the ruling party was not afraid.

He said, “Why should the APC be afraid of BVAS and electronic transfer of results when the youths are strongly behind us? Why should we be afraid? I told you that if election is conducted tomorrow we are going to win.

“They are the ones running after us. We have already given them more than 30 per cent gap ahead. And by tomorrow, if elections were conducted, we would give them more than 50 per cent. We are very comfortable with the arrangement made by INEC.JAMB portal

“We are going to win with that because that has taken care of the manipulation of those who want to do ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ on Election Day. Asiwaju is the next president of this country by the grace of God.”

The PCC youth director also stated that the ruling party’s nominee was leagues ahead of his political opponents, adding that he (Tinubu) will surpass the Peoples Democratic Party candidate Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party counterpart Peter Obi.

The lawmaker from Benue promised the crowd that neither the Labor Party nor the People’s Democratic Party will pose a danger to Tinubu’s presidential ambitions in the upcoming election.

He said, “We didn’t see Asiwaju contesting with Atiku and Peter Obi. These are people with questionable character. We know what Atiku did to this country. He threw the youths of the North-Central and this country to the street.
