The coordinator general said “Tinubu is the most liberal Nigerian among those contesting,” adding that the APC presidential candidate had positively impacted the lives of most Nigerians that came his way, not minding their religious and tribal of status.
When asked how she hoped to deliver FCT to Tinubu, she said: “Well, it’s a Herculean task, no doubt,but we have our modalities in place and we are working assiduously, day and night, to ensure our task is achieved.

“People know him and know what he can do. They know that he’s intelligent, brilliant, a visionary leader, and above all, an icon of mentorship. This is what we want.
” We want people that can mentor our young people. People, designed to position us and also level see reasons why we should be men and women of goodwill to serve our nation to bring about paradigm shift that will uplift our society for the betterment of all and sundry.”
