The minister of works and housing, Babatunde Fashola, has revealed the reason why Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, will win the 2023 presidential election.
The minister expressed confidence that Tinubu will win the election because the main opposition is divided and the APC candidate has a stellar public service record.
Fashola revealed this on Monday, February 6th, when he appeared on Channels Television’s politics today, and a clip of the video was shared on Twitter by Bayo Onanuga, the media director of the APC presidential campaign council.
He said Tinubu’s main rivals in the 2019 election were Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
Thus, he argued, if they could all be defeated together in 2019, how will the APC lose the 2023 presidential election when the opposition is already divided into three?
If said:
“If you were not enough when you were together, how can you be enough when you are broken into three? Are you bringing more new people in from outside Nigeria?”
Fashola, who is a former governor of Lagos state disclosed that the ruling party has conducted over 5000 polls and the statistics favoured the APC.
