Apparently speaking on the number of candidates, Tinubu said:
“Anybody can run but not everybody can become President. You have to have the track records, experience, vision, training and the developmental programme – a vision of changing a nation from poverty to prosperity. I’ve it all; I’m different from them. They’re candidates, they’re aspirants but I’m an aspirant."
What he would do if elected president
He also promised to bring an end to incessant strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
Tinubu said it is unacceptable for strikes to continue depriving Nigerian students of their right to education.
He affirmed:
“We will spend resources and investment necessary to move education forward in this country."
