Sen. Magnus Abe who is the Rivers State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), in the just concluded election has declared that nobody was better prepared, and experienced than President Bola Tinubu among all the presidential candidates that ran for the 2023 presidential election.
Abe made this known while speaking in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday night which was monitored by Africa Today News, New York.
He said, ‘Of all the candidates that indicated interest to run for the 2023 presidency, nobody was better prepared, nobody has better experience, nobody has greater capacity than Tinubu.
‘Atiku Abubakar himself, when he was politically-challenged, he ran to Tinubu. It was Tinubu that accommodated him, gave him the platform, and supported him to run.

‘So, this man has the capacity, the knowledge, and the reach to bring diverse people together in this country. He has shown that repeatedly, including this last election.
‘If it was not for the fact that it was Tinubu that was running, I doubt if the APC would have been able to do as much as they have done with all the challenges that went on that time,’ he said.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu had yesterday returned to Nigeria following his trip to France and London.
Africa Today News, New York had earlier reported that Mr Tinubu’s trip to France was his first foreign trip since he assumed office as Nigeria’s president on 29 May.

He returned to Nigeria on Tuesday and arrived at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Dele Alake, Mr Tinubu was welcomed by a large crowd at the Lagos airport.
