APC Applauds Tinubu’s Performance At Chatham House

The All Progressives Congress’ (APC) North-West Presidential Campaign Council praised Bola Tinubu, the party’s front-runner, for his appearance at Chatham House in London, noting that he showed a deep understanding of the nation’s problems.

When elected president, the APC candidate will rebuild the country’s economy, security, and foreign policy. He made this announcement on Monday.

In his speech titled “Nigeria’s 2023 Elections: Security, Economic and Foreign Policy Imperatives,” Tinubu discussed some of his ideas.

The former governor of Lagos State received harsh criticism from a variety of sources for declining an invitation to a town hall meeting on Arise TV in favor of traveling to London to fulfill an engagement at Chatham House.

However, Tinubu was defended by the North West APC PCC, which was led by Governor Bello Matawalle and his deputy zonal coordinator, Dr. Salihu Lukman.

The PCC expressed its appreciation to the APC candidate for his successful campaign in London in a statement released on Thursday morning by its spokesperson, Muhammad Molash.

The statement read, “Chatham house has been a source of independent analysis,trusted dialogue and influential ideas for over 100 years.Therefore,it is the right place for Asiwaju to demonstrate his team-work acumen,both in politics and governance.

“We also noted the cognitive capacity and knowledge of issues affecting our beloved country, displayed by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his presentation at the session. He is obviously the most prepared presidential candidate in Nigeria.

“The response of Femi Gbajamiamila on policy was impressive, just as the dissection of security issues by Gov El Rufai was equally superlative. Other members of the team like Dele Alake and Dr Betta Edu also displayed high level professional skills.

“The London outing is obviously a good preview to what Nigerians should expect from the Tinubu’s presidency come 2023 God’s willing. It was indeed an opportunity for him to showcase his leadership skills to the international community,his vision for Nigeria,his enviable track records and his ability to identify talents and delegate responsibilities to them.”
