Emir of Dutse, Nuhu Mohammadu has stated that Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is competent and has the capacity to lead the country.<\/p>\n
This was contained in a statement released on Sunday by Tunde Rahman, head of Tinubu\u2019s media office.<\/p>\n
He said the APC presidential candidate visited the Emir of Dutse while in Jigawa state for his campaign rally.<\/p>\n
The emir said Tinubu has shown his capacity in the past during his time as Lagos governor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a keen follower of you and your political activities. You are one person I believe has the capacity and competence to rule the country,\u201d the emir was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigeria had been polarised before. You were able to bring the north and south together under this administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cI attended your inauguration as the Jagaban of Borgu by the late Emir of Borgu. He was my friend. He was constantly talking about you and your good deeds.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou also went to America to study just like me. And like you, I also did several menial jobs to survive. I\u2019m also an accountant like you. I have also read some of your books, particularly the one titled \u2018Financialism\u2019. The only thing I lack, unlike you, is the will to play politics.\u201d<\/p>\n
The emir also asked the APC candidate to help address water scarcity in Jigawa if he is elected president.<\/p>\n
In his reaction, Tinubu said he decided to pay the emir a courtesy visit as \u201ca leader and father\u201d to seek his support for the presidency.<\/p>\n
He assured the traditional ruler that he would work hard to solve the nation\u2019s pressing problems, adding that \u201che will not sell or share the nation\u2019s patrimony like a piece of cake\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
