Presidency Requires Smartness, Not Fitness – Tinubu

A presidential aspirant under the All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu has stated that qualifying to be president of Nigeria doesn’t require strength but intelligence and smartness to overcome the numerous problems bedevilling the country.

Tinubu stated this when he met with delegates of the APC ahead of the party primaries in Minna on Friday.

He said, “A President’s job is not to climb mountains, wrestle or carry concrete. It is to think and perform with his brain.

“We are not looking for WWE wrestling fighter. We are looking for a thinker to provide security for us.

“We are looking for a doer who will look at economic opportunities and turn it around to prosperity.”

He also stated that he knows what he is contesting for and what is required to become a president in a country like Nigeria, adding that he has a track record of transforming Lagos state which he intends to replicate in Nigeria.

“I know the road to prosperity, safety, clean environment, development of our nation and infrastructure because I have done it all in Lagos state and I can do it again,” the former Lagos State governor said.
