The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Presidential Aspirant, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu said his ambition to succeed President Mohammadu Buhari in 2023, was seeking a job that requires brain and focus and not one that requires strength.
Gatekeepers News reports that Tinubu spoke at the palace of Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji.
Tinubu was in Osun as he continues to visit royal fathers to seek their blessings for his presidential ambition.
Tinubu said the work of president he has applied for was not bricklaying, race running, or grave digging, but the one that requires the use of brain and intelligence.
Tinubu noted that he aimed to serve Nigeria to the best of his ability.
He added that he possessed the quality that the country was looking for to make it a very great, prosperous, united country.
He noted that even with the availability of human and material resources, Nigeria must build a character of resilience and determination, while Nigerians must see themselves as one entity.
Tinubu said, “I have the brain and the capacity. If you hear them saying, he is sick, I didn’t apply for the job of race running. I didn’t apply for the job of bricklaying. I went to school to study Accountancy and Management.
“I didn’t apply for a job of a gravedigger. I have applied for a job of brain and intelligence, focus thinking. The job I want to do for Nigeria is for Nigeria to be greater and be proud of itself, our children, and we leave a legacy of success, unlimited success for our great, great children.
“I don’t care whether you are Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Ida, Ijaw or whoever you are, God has blessed us. He blessed us with human and materials. The only thing that He is ready to streamline for us and we are ready to streamline it, is character.
“We must build that character of strong determination, character of selflessness, character of resiliency, character of perseverance in which we must see ourselves as one entity that will build prosperity for all Nigerians. This is my promise.”
