President Muhammadu Buhari was assured All Progressive Congress (APC) party supporters who will continue to campaign for Bola Tinubu as the ‘next president of Nigeria.’
The President spoke before a mammoth crowd at the presidential campaign rally at Lafia square, where he endorsed the candidacy of the presidential candidate, Tinubu, his running mate, Kashim Shettima and the second bid of Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State.

He thanked the party’s supporters for braving the hot weather and standing in the sun for hours to express their support for the party’s flag bearers in the upcoming presidential and gubernatorial elections.
”I congratulate you and assure you that God will always win. As Tinubu said in his speech, I have known him for more than 20 years ago, and I will continue to campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is a loyal Nigerian and I am sure he will give his best to Nigeria.
“Also elect Abdullahi Sule for his second and last term as governor,” he said.
The APC presidential candidate thanked the president for being the “poster boy” of the campaign, fighting and working hard for the survival of Nigeria.
“Nigeria is still alive as a nation. Because of constitutional democracy, we should have asked you to continue, but you said no, you will go back to Daura, your hometown,” he said.
Mr. Tinubu also used the occasion to mock those who claimed he had a frosty relationship with the president, saying:

“Those who think that there is a crack in our friendship and relationship will continue to be disappointed and happy for a short time. We are not about individuals but about nation building, honesty, integrity and character,” he said.
The APC presidential candidate, who likened President Buhari to great and courageous leaders like Abraham Lincoln, commended him for staying focused amid distractions.
He promised that under his presidency, Nigeria will recover from all challenges because of the courage and resilience of its people.

Mr. Tinubu added that his administration would prioritize agriculture, build the country’s mineral resources and create wealth for Nigerians.
”We will work hard. Promise, your grandchildren will not regret this nation and themselves,” he said.
