The former Lagos governor stated:
"They (PDP) got there and turned it to an incubator. I wonder why they still exist as a party. These are people still fighting for leadership of their party, looking for the direction of the compass. We are not equal at all; we are smarter. We know the road; let them follow."

What is APC's plan for Nigeria?
The APC presidential candidate disclosed that his party is strategising to tackle the challenges facing the nation. According to him, they can identify the problems and solve them for the prosperity of the citizens.
"We will guarantee tomorrow, jobs for your grandchildren, and the progress of tomorrow. All we are doing is strategising, calculating and organising ourselves to confront the challenge before us.”
Tinubu deserves to be the next president - Shettima says
Speaking at the event, Kashim Shettima, APC vice-presidential candidate, said non of the other presidential candidates have the skill and capacity to move Nigeria forward like Tinubu, Nigerian Tribune reports.
He said the 2023 elections should be the payback time for Tinubu who has worked hard to preserve democracy in Nigeria.
Shettima stated:
"President Muhammadu Buhari wouldn’t have become the president in 2015 if not for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. This gentleman invested his resources, his time and his goodwill in bringing forth the presidency of this country to another part of Nigeria and this is payback time."
PDP criticises Tinubu for visiting Jonathan
The APC flagbearer and his vice Kashim Shettima on Tuesday, August 20, met with former president Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.
Reacting to the visit, the main opposition party, PDP, berated Tinubu and Shettima, saying the duo was part of those who frustrated Jonathan’s administration efforts.
Its national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the meeting between the trio was an attempt by the APC presidential and vice-presidential candidates to launder their image.
