According to Jibrin, the most important thing about the forthcoming election is that it must be subjected to democratic processes.
He said:
"The most important thing is that it (the process) would be subjected to a democratic process and members of the party will decide who they want as their candidate and of course, the same would be applied in the general elections."
He said that even at the final league of the electioneering process when all eligible Nigerians cast their votes - a final decision to select who becomes president in 2023 - Tinubu would also emerge victoriously.
Jibrin said:
"And I can tell you, Insha Allah, Asiwaju Tinubu would have no problem whatsoever, I have said this repeatedly, whether you subject it to direct or indirect primaries, Asiwaju will win the primary and secondary election Insha Allah."
The opposition should get their acts together - Jibrin
Also, in a tweet made by the Tinubu Media Support, Jibrin was quoted saying that the opposition should not be stuck in criticism but rather work towards ensuring their candidates are brought to the limelight.
He said:
"Instead of getting stuck in criticism, invest your time and energy to mobilise support for your preferred aspirants and candidates."
