In life, every human being is sentimental and it is nobody,s fault. But former Lagos State governor and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu maintained that he decided to sacrifice his ambition to becoming Nigeria's president in the interest of the country. It Is only Tinubu who knows how sincere he is, going by this statement. Here is what he said, "People define patriotism as putting the country first but this is what the ‘Poverty Development Party’ refuses to understand. We chose Buhari not because Bola Tinubu is not interested in the Presidency.
"I am capable, competent, qualified, younger and richer but there comes a time that people must make sacrifices for their nation. I prayed that Nigeria would get better and we would not need a man like him (Buhari). But today, we are in a great crisis; we face a lot of challenges.
"When South Africa was in a great dilemma and was about to disintegrate, they called Nelson Mandela of 74 years old. He used his wisdom to save his country. When the United States was in economic depression, they called 73-year-old Ronald Reagan because he was frugal and incorruptible.
"When America was faced with depression and war, they called a retired General, Dwight Eisenhower, to rescue the country and the country was returned on a path of success. When France was faced with war and economic depression, they called a retired General, Charles De Gaul, to rescue the country. Whether Buhari presented a certificate or not, he is still qualified to rule the country.
“So what do we need now? Buhari. This is the time for us. General Buhari, whether you are qualified or not qualified, we are calling you to come and rescue us in Nigeria."
