“Sometimes in communication, you choose your proper timing. That is not a weakness.
“There is no particular benefit in rushing out what you want to do. Those who have rushed out what they want to do, how much have they done?
“So many of them (presidential candidates) get away with intriguing questions put across to them. They have not sufficiently addressed the how.”

Oshiomhole added that in the case of different people saying different things on Tinubu’s behalf, sometimes it is difficult to control his followers.

He said:

“I am not able to speak extensively on what he wants to do. I can speak in terms of my view; the views I have shared and canvassed as it should be.”
