He said his superlative experience in political movement, meaningful governance, socio – political and economic development shall afford him the opportunity to win the 2023 presidential election with landslide victory to emerge as the next president of Nigeria.
Salahu, a veteran Journalists and Special Adviser to Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Strategy, vehemently declared that Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu is the presidential candidate to beat in the 2023 general elections.
He said Tinubu’s achievements as Lagos State Governor, between 1999 and 2007, made Lagos the city of excellence not only in Nigeria, but in the entire African continent and eventually became the pride of black race all over the world.

We can all remember the period when Tinubu as Lagos State Governor, managed the state effectively, even when the Federal Government refused to pay Lagos it’s own share of Federal Allocation.”

” Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential hopeful of our noble party, APC, is being celebrated all over the world as one of the founding fathers of new Nigeria, because he was one of the few Nigerian patriots who ensured that the nation returns to democracy.
” The resilient and focused politician, Tinubu was among the patriots who went on exile as a result of leading a political movement that fought military government and eventually returned democratic rule to Nigeria in 1999. So, he had definitely paid his due by facilitating the enthronement and survival of democracy, as well as good political leadership and governance,” Salahu narrated.

He said his landslide victory at the last APC presidential primary which gave him overwhelming number of votes to have emerged as the presidential flag bearer of the largest party in Africa, is a clear evidence of his popularity and acceptance by the people.
He said Tinubu’s emergence proof bookmakers wrong, the insinuation that the outcome of the APC primary will disintegrate the party became void as a result of Tinubu’s wide acceptability by all the party’s stakeholders, especially the APC serving states governors.
” Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has the support of the overwhelming majority of all the stakeholders across Northwest, Northeast,Northcentral, Southsouth, Southeast and Southwest respectively.” Salahu confirmed.
