Just as the 2023 elections draw closer, the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Vice Chairman, North West, Salihu Lukman has said that \u201cthe advantage\u201d Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling party, has over other frontline candidates, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, is that he is a one-party man.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Lukman, this \u201cmeans some higher level of integrity and trust worthiness\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview in Abuja recently, Lukman said Tinubu\u2019s pedigree stands him out from his opponents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cNo doubt Atiku, Kwankwaso, Peter Obi are respected people in politics. I will not toe the line of dismissing them. But like I said, in terms of edge and in terms of campaign, the advantage our candidate has is that he\u2019s not a regular election merchant,\u201d Lukman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last time he appeared on the ballot was in 2003. Unlike the other candidates you mentioned, he has never left the party for any other party. Which for me means some higher level of integrity and trust worthiness.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow it is up to Nigerians to make their conclusion. That does not stop Nigerians from making choices they want, democracy is about making choices, but our business as a political party and political leaders is to promote our candidate and engage the competition in a way that people acknowledge and recognise their differences.<\/p>\n
