Chairman, Rimax Institute of Computer Studies and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Livinus Okwara, has urged Nigerians to vote for credible and trusted candidates based on competence and track records in their previous offices.
Okwara, who made the remark in Lagos, said most politicians vie for political offices for their selfish and pecuniary gains, particularly to amass wealth for themselves and their cronies at the expense of general interests.
He said people should not vote for candidates from the presidential to state houses of assembly elections based on ethnic or religious affiliations to move this country forward.
The Rimax boss berated the act of moving from one party to another, arguing that of all the political parties in the country, only the APC has a genuine interest to advance the cause of humanity and lift the country’s economy to an appreciable height.
He said though the government of President Muhammadu Buhari had tackled major challenges confronting the country and its people, such as insecurity, poverty and unemployment, it has made some landmark achievements.
He said Buhari’s government is unable to do more than what it had done not because of his person but for the tight economic conditions such as borrowing to fight insurgency.
Okwara said he believed Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, would perform credibly if voted into power.
He said Tinubu did not only perform well when he was a governor of Lagos State for eight years, but he also laid down the developmental plans for the state, which his various successors sustained to make the state a model for other states of the federation.
He said only that testimony alone is enough for Nigerians to see Tinubu as the best candidate for the next president.
