Senator Remi Tinubu says President Muhammadu Buhari has set a good example and laid a solid foundation for her husband and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, to follow if he gets elected at the 2023 polls.

“The president has set a good example. Like I said, he’s not a magician to just fix every problem in Nigeria, he inherited some,” Mrs Tinubu told AIT in an interview on Friday. “One of the things that gladdens my heart is that he’s done well in laying foundations.”

The senator representing Lagos Central at the National Assembly also urged Nigerians to “play their part,” assuring that if elected, Mr Tinubu’s administration will fix the country.

In the same vein, Mr Tinubu once promised to build on the legacies of the Buhari regime while the spokesperson for his presidential campaign, Festus Keyamo, said in an interview that Mr Tinubu will run Nigeria with the same template as Mr Buhari.

Candidate of the ruling party, Mr Tinubu will be up against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi of Labour Party and a host of other candidates.

Though Mr Tinubu’s party enjoys the power of incumbency, his hoice of Kashim Shettima, former Borno governor and fellow Muslim as vice presidential candidate, has continued to generate sharp criticism from the country’s Christian community.
