A former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu, said the All Progressive Congress, APC, candidate, Bola Tinubu, is the most sellable presidential candidate in the 2023 election.
Ribadu said this at the inauguration of the APC stakeholders relations directorate for the 2023 poll in Abuja.
He said Tinubu would sweep the presidential election with a landslide margin.
The former anti-graft boss who is now the Director of Stakeholder Relations for the APC Presidential Campaign Council described Tinubu as a good administrator with an extensive network across the country.
“Luckily, our job is cut out for us. We have the most saleable product in the market today; there is no one candidate out there that is better than our own,” Ribadu said.
“Asiwaju Tinubu is an accomplished human being and a thorough-bred administrator and maverick politician. He has something to show from his glowing antecedents.
“He will not learn on the job. He also has a wide network of friends and associates everywhere in Nigeria, which makes our job of outreach very much easier.”
Ribadu said though the 2023 presidential election is literally a walkover for the APC, the party should not leave anything to chance.
“We should not under-rate our opponents. We should work assiduously to make the margin of winning too wide that the victory will be massive and sweet,” he added.
Ribadu enjoined members of the Directorate drawn from various fields of human endeavors to work as one family in an atmosphere of cordiality and respect for each other.
“To ease operation, we have decided to divide the operations of the directorate into North and South. This is done to ensure that our work is targeted and thorough,” he added.
“We are also adopting bottom-up and up-bottom approaches simultaneously through the creation of thematic area Units and leadership at Zonal and State levels.
“The work will be guided with clear terms of reference to guide our operations and assigned tasks. Immediately after this formal event we will discuss in detail and provide you with the necessary guidance to hit the ground running.”
APC’s founding chairman, Chief Bisi Akande who inaugurated the directorate expressed satisfaction with the performance of the APC Led administration since May 29, 2015.
Akande also disclosed that he was impressed with the composition of the new directorate.
He also believed they would continue with the victory of the ruling party from where they stopped on May 29, 2015.
This is even as he expressed confidence that Tinubu has what it takes to administer the country despite the aversion of some Nigerians to the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.
