Following his arrival at the Abuja International Airport, the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the ruling All-Progressive Congress, (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Thursday, said he is ready to work as he spoke on the expectations of Nigerians ahead of the general polls.

In a video clip sighted by The New Diplomat, the former governor of Lagos State stated that “I enjoyed my break. And I’m happy to be back to my fatherland.

“And Nigerians should expect a very intelligent ability to think and perform. Nigerians should expect that the help they need is here, the hope that is almost jittering is back and back actively.

“And we hold every effort to the country of patriotism, dedication, capacity and ability to do the job. Not negative thinking, not the fact that Nigeria has failed; this country is the greatest.

“If it is to rebuild, we are builders; if it is construction, we are constructors. If it is assurance, we give Nigerians the assurance that we definitely make a better country out of it all.”

It would be recalled that Tinubu left the country for London immediately after the list of the 422-member campaign council was released.

His UK trip gained traction when he was conspicuously absent at the signing of the Peace Accord by all the presidential candidates and their political parties.

The APC has not been able to inaugurate its presidential campaign council, which was also believed to have been delayed pending the arrival of Tinubu.

Critics speculated that he has been hospitalized in London, but the Jagaban who is known for his games, debunked the report with a short video of him exercising.

Amid the speculation, the Spokesman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Festus Keyamo, had on Wednesday disclosed that Tinubu will soon be back in the country.

Recall also, Seyi, one of Tinubu’s sons, yesterday, in a post on his Instagram wall shared a rare picture of his father (Tinubu) playing with his grandchildren with the caption Grandpa.
