The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje, says President Bola Tinubu has the capacity to reform the country’s governance system and the economy.
Ganduje made this known Thursday when the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) led by Sen. Dayo Adeyeye paid him a courtesy visit at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja.
His words: “Lagos is a great state, not only in Nigeria but in Africa. So we want a replica, we want a mirror image of that kind of sustainability for Nigeria.
“And we believe Asiwaju is equal to the task, he will reform our system, reform the system of governance, reform the institutions, reform the economy and all other social issues that will take Nigeria to the next level.”
Ganduje commended SWAGA for the role it played in ensuring that the Tinubu Presidency became a reality.
She added: “If you want to start a journey you must start with preparedness, and I think you started this journey with preparedness because you’re committed, you have common ideas leading to a kind of philosophy or a kind of ideology to achieve an objective.
“I think that is a very good starting point, because once you start something, you must have an objective, you must have a target, a timeframe and how to do it, and must know you are committed you must do it.”
“When you said you formed this association, this group, not to your knowledge, some of us started it in the heart even before explaining it to others to know, because when you like something when you love something, it starts from the heart.
“Sometimes you even suffer because people don’t understand you. But we believe our principal is the right principal, he is the man that we have been yearning to mount the leadership of this country and we have succeeded in doing that.
Ganduje noted that Lagos State has a high degree of sustainability, adding that the high degree of sustainability was not because Tinubu has been the governor for over 20 years in Lagos, but rather he developed institutions, and laid the foundation for sustainability for Lagos.
The chairman stressed that they believed Tinubu would leave a big mark of change in Nigeria.
Earlier, Adeyeye congratulated Ganduje and the National Secretary of the party, Senator Ajibola Bashir for their emergence and pledged their support to the new leaders.
