Tinubu’s Age Is A Barrier? – APC Chieftain Makes Huge Revelation

Mike Msuaan, an All Progressive Congress chieftain, has slammed opposition parties and critics of the ruling party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, who see his age as a barrier.

This comes as he revealed that the former Lagos State governor has no objections to the use of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System in the 2023 general election.

The politician made the remarks while meeting with a number of party leaders in Abuja on Thursday.

Msuaan, the APC Presidential Campaign Council’s Director of National Youth Mobilisation (North Central), urged them to take a page from the President of the United States, Joe Biden.

He said, “The US president is as old as Tinubu. It’s not about age. It’s about what you have upstairs. Tinubu has the experience better than all of them.

“The right thing the president would do is to assemble the best hands for the country. He has been tested and trusted. He did it in Lagos and he is going to do it for Nigeria.”

Continuing, the PCC youth mobilization director stated that he and his supporters had begun a door-to-door campaign to perfect some strategies aimed at ensuring Tinubu wins at least 70% of the votes cast in the North-Central geopolitical zone in the 2023 elections.

When asked if Tinubu was comfortable with the use of BVAS and electronic transmission of election results, Msuaan stated that, contrary to popular belief, the ruling party was not concerned.

He said, “Why should the APC be afraid of BVAS and electronic transfer of results when the youths are strongly behind us? Why should we be afraid? I told you that if election is conducted tomorrow we are going to win.

“They are the ones running after us. We have already given them more than 30 per cent gap ahead. And by tomorrow, if elections were conducted, we would give them more than 50 per cent. We are very comfortable with the arrangement made by INEC.

“We are going to win with that because that has taken care of the manipulation of those who want to do ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ on Election Day. Asiwaju is the next president of this country by the grace of God.”

The PCC youth director also stated that the ruling party’s candidate was far ahead of his political rivals, claiming that he (Tinubu) would outperform the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.

The Benue-born politician assured the audience that neither the LP nor the PDP would pose a threat to Tinubu’s presidential ambitions at the polls.

He said, “We didn’t see Asiwaju contesting with Atiku and Peter Obi. These are people with questionable character. We know what Atiku did to this country. He threw the youths of the North-Central and this country to the street.
