The national women leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Betta Edu claims that Nigerians will beg the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, for a second term after his initial four years in office.
Betta Edu, who stated this during an interview with Channels Television on Thursday, emphasized that Tinubu is thoroughly prepared to commence his duties immediately after he is sworn in on Monday, May 29.
She affirmed that the former Lagos governor will address the shortcomings of the outgoing administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari with unwavering determination.
The former Cross River commissioner said, “I bet on anything, Nigerians will plead with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, four years down the line, for a second term.
“The first point we must understand is that Nigeria is a work in progress. If you listen to the speech of President Muhammadu Buhari today at the state banquet hall, he stated very clearly that he has fought a good fight.
“He said he is handing over Nigeria to someone who he believes will continue from where he stops and do better.”
Betta Edu said Tinubu has a clearly written set of programs that will be swiftly implemented within the first 60 days of his tenure.
She added, “If you know Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, he is a deep thinker and doer. One who is very strong in terms of analysing and strategising.
“I can boldly tell you for free that the next 60 days have clearly been spelt out by Tinubu — what he hopes to do, what he hopes to achieve, at what point and where.
“He fully understands the task ahead of him. He is fully prepared. He wants to hit the ground running.”
Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Gambari claims that his principal is leaving a significant legacy of promoting free and fair elections in Nigeria.
