According to Dr. Abiola Oshodi, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party's presidential candidate, won't succumb to a debate-related planned disgrace.
The vice chairman of the APC in Canada, Oshodi, declared that neither the party nor its candidate will follow their political rivals' lead.
Oshodi, a member of the Sustainable Development for Nigeria Directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Committee, made this statement on Monday while speaking over the phone with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that the party's presidential candidate was not dodging political arguments, but rather exercising caution to avoid playing into the hands of his political rivals who were working with some people.
“ Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been engaging Nigerians in his campaign activities that he has taken to over 10 different states since he launched the campaign activities barely four weeks ago.
“In addition, he has attended several town-hall meetings and other relevant political activities.
“What he has refused as a political general that he is, is to allow himself to be lured into a political ambush disguised as presidential debates anchored by largely partisan people and with a rigged audience primed to embarrass him.
“There is no suave political general that he is that will fall for such. “He grants interviews and he granted some recently,” he stated. According to Oshodi, Tinubu offers the best hope among all the frontline presidential candidates economically and politically. “ He offers the best hope for our fatherland on many fronts. It had never been that good for our democracy.
“Firstly, this is the first in the history of our democracy that we are having a presidential candidate that has served as a senator and a two-term governor.
“ He is a genuine core democrat that built his party from the ground, starting as a lone opposition party that controlled only Lagos at the time into a national brand.
“This is no mean achievement, it takes an uncommon visionary to accomplish this,” he said.
Kashim Shettima, Tinubu's running mate, is also a two-term governor, he said, adding that if Tinubu were to win the presidency, Sen. Oluremi would have the capacity to help her husband succeed.
The APC leader said that, if adopted universally, the presidential candidate's Renewed Hope program provided the most revolutionary socio-political and economic growth road out of Nigeria's current difficulties.
“Our revenue challenges will become a thing of the past and our youths can be meaningfully engaged and their bursting energies and creativities can be turned into a source of income generation for themselves and the nation.
“And the major challenge confronting the nation is insecurity and with a new robust approach embedded in the Renewed Hope manifesto, such will become a thing of the past if Asiwaju emerges victorious and the manifesto implemented,” he stated.
Oshodi hoped that Tinubu would win the 2023 presidential election so that he could continue many of the accomplishments of the departing President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, particularly in the area of infrastructure.
