The one that was holding the position withdrew today and already there is an announcement to replace him fully with a substantive candidate.

Asked who the candidate was he replied: “Kashim Shettima. I have not discussed with him. I have disclosed it to you, since I’ve disclosed this to the president.”

On how confident that his party will win the coming elections, Tinubu said: “We are going win. We are going to win Insha Allah. Because we are a progressive party, we have the focus on the Nigeria’s problems. We are facing the challenges squarely, we’re not running away from it. We have a better Programme for the people and about the people are ready to serve. Within a short period of time there will be a good foundation on infrastructure. We face challenges of terrorism, we know that. It’s only you know, a poor thinker and observer that I will not recognize the challenge. But once you recognize a challenge, you can prepare yourself very well to tackle it and defeat it. And that is what our party is all about.”
