Nigeria’s greatness begins now, says Tinubu

The All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has said with his emergence as the ruling party flagbearer for the 2023 presidential election, the country’s “greatness begins now”.

The former Lagos State governor stated this on Wednesday while delivering his acceptance speech after winning the APC presidential primary at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

The PUNCH reports that Tinubu scored 1,271 votes to defeat his closest contenders, Rotimi Amaechi and Yemi Osinbajo.

Amaechi obtained 316 votes while Osinbajo polled 235.

But speaking after his victory, Tinubu said he had waited for the right moment to actualize his dream and serve the country in his best capacity, saying that with his emergence, the nation will begin to live to its potential.

“The journey has started a long time and now we are here. The country’s greatness begins now,” Tinubu said.
