According to Edu, Tinubu will work on the low points of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

She said:

“I bet on anything, Nigerians will plead with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, four years down the line, for a second term.

“The first point we must understand is that Nigeria is a work in progress. If you listen to the speech of President Muhammadu Buhari today at the state banquet hall, he stated very clearly that he has fought a good fight.

“He said he is handing over Nigeria to someone who he believes will continue from where he stops and do better.”

Edu disclosed that Tinubu has a well-written set of programmes for the first 60 days of his administration, which commences on Monday, May 29.

“He fully understands the task ahead of him. He is fully prepared. He wants to hit the ground running.”
