He said, ‘President Buhari will not be on the ticket, but his spirit, driving leadership and progressiveness in all he does, will continue to add value to what we are doing to win the elections.
‘As far as the leadership of the APC is concerned, President Buhari is very much on the ticket. We will not see his picture, but his spirit will drive these efforts. He has done so much under trying situations. And he is polling the fortunes of this country to everybody’s surprise.
‘I want to just emphasise one thing to you; there is no option to victory. We must leave no space whatsoever. This government must be returned, by the grace of God. I believe in God and for God to appreciate me and add value to what we are doing. We are not working to end up in the tribunal but working to end up in the Villa.
‘Those who have ears should hear. We are ready to work with you and whatever you feel the NWC can do, don’t hesitate to come along. We are ready.’
Speaking with newsmen, Senator Remi Tinubu said her husband would consolidate Buhari’s achievements if given the mandate.
