‘We want electoral victory’: Buhari campaigns for Tinubu in Sokoto

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday campaigned for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

The president said the ruling party has determination to come victorious in the forthcoming general elections.

The Nigerian leader revealed this during his visit to the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III alongside the presidential candidate.

A presidential media aide, Garba Shehu while quoting his boss said “my wish is for your support and blessings; we want to win”.

“He went on to narrate the qualities of the candidates, including their common belief and commitment to the unity and progress of every section of the country. He said he had associated with Asiwaju for more than 20 years and did not have any reservations in supporting him as the candidate of the APC,” the statement added.

“The President said Tinubu’s greatest strength was in his effective governance of Lagos, the country’s former Capital, a business hub and home to diverse individuals from all over Nigeria for two terms; his commitment to democracy; as well as his role at the center as a Senator.

“He said his message to Nigerians is that they should trust Tinubu with power to succeed him because the APC candidate, supported by Kashim Shettima, the running mate will build on the successes of his administration.”

The presidential candidate revealed that: “We have come here to ask for your support and blessings; we want to win the coming elections”.

“I have come to be presented to you as Candidate. The President and Commander-in-Chief, Muhammadu Buhari is here in person to do that,” the former Lagos State governor added.

“I want to win the election. Is there a way you will decline the request of the President?”
