‘The big masquerade dance is not in the cage but in the market square. And that is what Adamu used to be, full of wisdom, we were governors together, before God put us together on this project again,’ he said.

He said, ‘We are not threatened. We are committed and we are very proud of ourselves, we are of an orderly manner, we are committed to democratic principles and values; we are not bickering in any way and you know that. Can you say that of the other parties? We are not spewing fake statistics and wrong figures. Can you say that of other parties? Well, we are what we are, a progressive party.
‘It is a new horizon and we assure them that every Nigerian will benefit and I am very sure that there will be a refreshing change and we will continue development in a rapid way.
‘Let the election be over. That is one step. We have to comply with INEC and regulations regarding the elections, when we finish that, we will unveil to you those things that we have for the country and our objectives, our creed, our commitment should be development and our commitment to transformation, and our determination to bring help to the teeming Nigerians.’
Commending Adamu, Tinubu urged party members to remain progressive in their thinking.
