The National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has replied those expressing concerns about his health challenges, insisting that he is psychologically fit to contest the presidency in 2023. 

2023: I'm Applying For A Thinking Job, Not Bricklaying Or Grave Digging - Bola Tinubu

Tinubu Speaks On His Health Challenges

The APC leader spoke on Friday, February 25, when he visited the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, Jimoh Olanipekun, to inform him of his 2023 presidential ambition.

According to him, he is not applying for a bricklayer, gravedigger, or race-running job that requires physical strength, instead, he wants to be the president which requires intelligent thinking.

Tinubu said, “I am the quality that Nigeria is looking for to make this country very great, prosperous and united, not only in Africa but in the world. God has blessed us with all resources; human and materials. The only thing that is needed to streamline it for us is character. We must build that character of determination, resilience and perseverance.

“We must see ourselves as one nation that will bring prosperity for all. I will not let Nigerians down. I have the brain and capacity. If you hear them saying, can I do it? I am not applying for the job of a grave digger; not race running, I am not a horse. I am not applying for bricklaying.

“I went to school to study accountancy and management. I am applying for a job of the brain; intelligent thinking; it is a job for someone who is ready to do things right.

“The job I want to do for Nigeria is for Nigeria to be greater and be proud of our sons and daughters and leave a legacy of unlimited success.”

The APC chieftain added that if the people of Osun give him their support, he would not let them down because he will serve Nigeria to the best of my knowledge.

He said, “Today, outside the president, we the Yorubas, we are the highest and the most steady tribe that you can count on in the administration. But democracy is sincere to everybody. It is calendared in the constitution that four years is one tenure. And as a president and governor, it is only two terms, except for Honourables and Senators.

“Now the calendar is ticking. It is now the season, the period that Nigeria is looking for solid hope and change for progress, prosperity and growth. We need a lot of jobs, solid education for our children. We need progress for our country. We want somebody that can bring that. We have in our old national anthem that ‘though tribe and tongues may differ, in brotherhood we stand.’

“It has come that we must be solid in that. It has come that we must know that it is the same blood that is running in our veins irrespective of tribe and faith. We must have a good attitude for progress and prosperity.

“It is about honest service for our country that will bring progress; that will give us joy and prosperity. To individuals, you must find courage, determination, perseverance, you must find that fellow who will love you, respect you and prioritise national development. I ask myself who is better than me? This prompted me to come out, consult, and be ready to serve the country.

“I have been going round. I offer myself the opportunity to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I have informed President Buhari of this. I told him that I want to step in his shoe and not break a toe. I told him that I want to serve my country to the best of my ability.”

In his remarks, the Ataoja of Osogbo said Tinubu has the capacity to be Nigeria’s president, and prayed that God would grant his heart’s desires.

KanyiDaily recalls that Bola Tinubu had said if he emerge president, he would transform Nigeria from a country of huge potentials to a prosperous one.
