Tinubu, Obi Or Atiku? – Sylva Picks Best Presidential Candidate

Tinubu, Obi Or Atiku? – Sylva Picks Best Presidential Candidate

Chief Timipre Sylva, Minister of State for Petroleum, insists that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, remains the best among those vying for the presidency in the 2023 election.

Speaking at the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential campaign rally in Yenagoa yesterday, he cited Tinubu’s credentials as a politician, Senator, and Governor of Lagos State to back up his claims.

He claimed that Tinubu’s main rivals, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), would fail to make any headway in the 2023 presidential election.

According to him: “Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is very presidential. He has a track record that nobody can beat. When they asked me why I am so sure that Tinubu is the best Presidential candidate, I also asked them who is contesting with him because I don’t know.

“They say Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar but I told them that those people are no match for our candidate because we must look at their track records. What did Obi do in Anambra state when he was a governor?”

The Minister, who compared Peter Obi to an unproductive Biblical servant who couldn’t turn his one talent into two, stated that governance is about more than just prudence.

On Atiku Abubakar, the former Governor of Bayelsa state maintained that he lacked the ability to effectively govern the country.

He noted: “Let’s talk about Atiku, his only mission is to come and sell the NNPC. He sold the other ones before but he forgot that he didn’t sell NNPC and he has told us he is coming back to sell it to his friends.”

He expressed disappointment with the performance of Bayelsa state Governor Diri Douye, lamenting the state’s infrastructure and development.

He said it defies logic that Bayelsa remains Nigeria’s second poorest state despite the state’s abundant human, natural, and mineral resources.

He added: “Bayelsa is an APC state, although they stole the victory from us, you can see that they don’t even know what to do with it. Look at the state of Bayelsa state now. This state, according to National Statistics, is the second poorest state in the whole of Nigeria.

“You can see why it is so. Can an umbrella protect you from the flood? We had serious flooding in Bayelsa that affected every home and every family in the state.

” The state government had been warned about it for a long time that the flood was coming but they had no preparation for the flood.

“You can also see when you walk on the streets of Bayelsa, you can see that they were not even prepared but today I am not here to talk about Bayelsa state because that battle is coming later and we know that that battle has already been won today.”
