Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has pointed out what will happen to Nigeria if Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the party becomes president of Nigeria.

Igbokwe said things would be okay if Tinubu becomes Nigeria’s president.

The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Drainage and Water Resources, stated this in an interview with BBC Pidgin.

Igbokwe described the former Lagos State governor as a builder who laid the foundation for the growth of the state.

Asked how Nigeria will turn out with Tinubu as president, Igbokwe said: “If he becomes the president of this country, things will be okay. Things will be fine. He’s a builder. He laid the foundation for the growth of Lagos. And Lagos is now the fifth-largest economy in Africa. So he can deliver.

“He’s a chartered accountant. He worked with Mobil. He ruled Lagos. He has been a senator. He has a lot to bring to the table. You know, the experience cannot be learned from textbooks alone. So, he has a lot to bring to the table. But it’s Nigerians that will decide,” he said.

Despite the clamour, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has remained silent in the 2023 presidential election.
