The former governor said that he was the most competent of all the presidential candidates and with track records, urging them to vote en masse for him.

Tinubu, who recalled how he got the party’s ticket through the support from all tribes, promised to be a president for all.

He, also called on religious leaders to pray for his victory in the election, pledging to govern with the fear of God.

Commenting, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, urged the people to vote Tinubu based on his competence and track records.

Hamzat explained how Tinubu increased the Lagos State Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N600 million to over N50 billion, saying that civil servants in Lagos were getting wardrobe allowance.

He said Tinubu had explained in his manifesto “Renewed Hope” how he would tackle unemployment, increase revenue and provide quality healthcare services.

Also, Sen. Teslim Folarin, the APC Governorship candidate in Oyo State, appreciated Islamic leaders in the region for organising the interactive session.

Folarin appealed to them to ensure Tinubu and all APC candidates emerge victorious in the 2023 general election.

“We have brought you a sellable candidate, who understands governance. We did not bring him here because he is a Muslim, but for his competence and track record,” he said.
