The founding leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, has congratulated the former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on his emergence as the presidential candidate of the APC.
Emerhor, who is the 2015 governorship candidate of the APC, described Tinubu’s victory at the APC Presidential Convention as a well deserved one.
In a statement on Friday, Emerhor, a renowned Nigerian banker, said with Tinubu as the party’s presidential candidate, APC is set for victory in the 2023 general elections.
Describing the victory as well deserved, he applauded Tinubu for his hardwork, perseverance, doggedness and sagacity, adding “The victory came against all odds and in the face very strong and determined opponents, Emerhor added.”
Emerhor further declared “him as the man of these times. Nigeria is currently at a crossroad. Our President Muhammadu Buhari having lifted Nigeria from the hole that PDP dug the country into, and with the country still beset with hydra-headed issues ranging from the economy to insecurity to infrastructure deficit and even the unity of the country, Tinubu is indeed the Man of these Times.
“The man who can sustain and escalate the progression of success recorded so far. A man who has done it before in Lagos State and can do it again for Nigeria. A man of capacity, a visionary extraordinary. A pragmatic doer, a detribilised manager of men and indeed, a hands on leader. Tinubu will get Nigeria right.”
Emerhor commended President Buhari, the APC governors, all APC stakeholders and all APC delegates to the Presidential Convention for giving Tinubu to Nigeria as APC flagbearer.
“The Time for Nigeria has arrived”, Emerhor concluded.
