The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has again expressed confidence about winning the 2023 election.
But Tinubu, in his speech at the APC presidential campaign rally on Thursday in Osogbo, Osun State, delivered a veiled jab at the government of President Muhammadu Buhari while expressing confidence in winning the presidential election, despite perceived opposition to his candidacy.
Tinubu alleged that the present administration wants to cause discomfort, notwithstanding, he would win the February 25 election.
He boasted that “we brought in this administration in 2015; we will succeed it in 2023”.
The APC flag bearer said: “Nobody smashes a palm nut by being gentlemanly. We are not bastards. We were the ones that put them there, and we will be the ones to succeed them.
“If you say you want to frustrate us, we have come a long way and no matter what you do, we will remain steadfast.”
He further told the people: “We are grateful for the way you trooped out for us.”
The Osogbo outing is not the first time Tinubu would be calling out the APC-led Federal government in recent times over some of its policies regarding the 2023 elections.
Last week in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Tinubu had claimed that the new Naira policy (and the attendant scarcity) as well as the lingering fuel scarcity are part of the ploy by some people to sabotage the 2023 general election, and by extension scuttle his life-long ambition of becoming president of Nigeria.
