In an interview with the journalists shortly after picking the forms, Mr Lawal said Tinubu was more prepared for the assignment than any of the other aspirants.
“We are here as a team on behalf of Bola Ahmed Tinubu to pick the form that he has personally paid for and because he is out of the country we came to it. He is the only candidate that we know.
“It is the party that has the authority to decide on the mode of primary, it is not in our purview to do that. As far as we are concerned whether direct or indirect we will win the election by the grace of God.
“Asiwaju at the appropriate time will deliver his address to us but know that this country under Asiwaju will be better, the economy will be better because he is an economist not a lawyer. He will deal with the economy, he did it in Lagos.
“Majority of the challenges in Lagos were surmounted by him. He is a man who rewards loyalty. He will ensure people who work will be taken care of. Employment opportunities are better off, the issue of insecurity will remain a thing of the past.
“The civil service in Lagos was reformed, he will do it again in Nigeria. Just give him time when he comes back he will address the press” Mr Hon. Faleke noted.
Also speaking, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Mr. Babashir Lawal opined that “the form we just obtained contained all the biodata of our candidate which are required to contest for election in Nigeria.
“Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a branded product. Every Nigerian knows that he is the man to beat, and I can assure you the president come May 29, 2023 is Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“If we are not sure we stand a chance to win this election we would not waste our 100 million naira. Everybody who puts his 100 million naira is for him to win. As far as we are concerned we going with the political requirements, the campaigning and we are going for the election” Mr Lawan ended.
