Tinubu will change your lives, Obidike tells youths

The young APC chieftain told the youths that they are not voting for Tinubu to be president of Nigeria. Rather, they are voting for the APC presidential candidate "to change their lives and their future”.

He charged the youths to embark on massive reorientation of their supporters to avoid being enticed by the politicians of the other parties "who are determined to buy voters with their money".

“In other words, we did not settle for Tinubu because he is a Yoruba man or a Muslim but because we believe, judging from his leadership antecedents, that he possesses the competence and credibility to deliver Nigeria from the present mess," he said.

He went further to describe Tinubu as a divine candidate sent from above, saying:

“He (Tinubu) is blessed and anointed by God to change the whole vices in Nigeria, and I want to confidently tell you that Tinubu and Shettima will take Nigeria to the Promised Land.”
