The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Vice President-elect, Kashim Shettima, have the required experience and capabilities to tackle the countless challenges facing Nigeria headlong.
A university lecturer and former federal lawmaker, Professor Haruna Yerima, made the declaration in an interview with journalists in Abuja.
Politics Nigeria gathered that Yerima said Tinubu and Shettima are coming to the presidency with astounding resumes to tackle the challenges facing the country without any hesitation.
“It is instructive to say that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has been a paragon of progressive’s politics since 1999 when the current civilian administration debuted. He has been an opposition leader with a difference. He developed Lagos to a modern city as an opposition leader,” Professor Yerima said.
Yerima, who teaches public policy and administration at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, represented Biu, Shani, Kwaya and Bayo federal constituency in Borno State at the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2007.
Yerima said, “It was on record that President Olusegun Obasanjo withheld Lagos State local government funds for over three years despite a Supreme Court ruling. Asiwaju’s resilience in economic management enabled him to survive the financial blockade. He made Lagos a leading economy in Africa and a jewel for international investors.”
The former lawmaker said the president-elect would develop the entire country equitably. “Asiwaju has a Pan-Nigerian agenda. The entire country is his immediate constituency. No section of the country will be left out. He is a developmental advocate, with a passion for critical infrastructure that will leapfrog the country to posterity and sustainable growth.”
