During a chat with Vanguard, Keyamo said Tinubu was not shying away from live interviews, adding: \u201cCampaigns have not started. The Nation will hear from him again and again and again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Similarly, Kehinde Bamigbetan, who is the deputy director, public affairs of the campaign council, said live interview is the strategy of Tinubu\u2019s opponents and the strategy could not be foisted or forced on Tinubu.<\/p>\n
Bamigbetan, who alongside Dr Mohammed Bulama (director multimedia of the campaign council), interacted with Vanguard Editors at the Lagos corporate head office of the best read newspaper in Nigeria, yesterday, said currently, \u201cTinubu is engaging in consultations. He is visiting and consulting many prominent Nigerians across the country. Yesterday (Sunday), he visited former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and his beloved mother in Abuja. His is engaging in consultation, consultation, and consultation and not noise making.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the Tinubu\/Kashim Shettima Muslim\/Muslim presidential ticket of the APC, Bamigbetan said the party took the decision in the best interest of the country, describing the ticket as the the best the country can get now.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth men faced difficult challenges as governors of Lagos and Borno states, respectively and both used their skills to transform their states. They turned crises into feats and turned their states into viable states. They are transformers. They will transform Nigeria, if elected. This is the best ticket. We are leveraging on their performances in Lagos and Borno,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bamigbetan and Bulama said that the Tinubu Administration would continue with the achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration in the area of infrastructural development and economic management, adding: \u201cWhat the current government has done has not been very well communicated. Rapid response system in power will be seen from May 29, 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking on n Tinubu\u2019s chances, they said \u201c2023 election is ours\u2019 to lose \u201d because \u201c70 percent of APC votes had always come from the North. Northern voters and leaders want the person they are familiar with not necessarily a Muslim. We have given them the person they want and they have promised to deliver the votes to Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
