He added that he was aware of the challenges ahead, but expressed optimism that he would emerge victoriously.
“Life is a challenge and you must be ready to confront challenges and overcome. I have the confidence that I will overcome any form of challenge. I am sure I would face challenges and I have the confidence that I will overcome them.
“The reactions of critical stakeholders to my presidential ambition have been very positive, encouraging and overwhelming and these have spurred me on with the strong conviction that we would succeed and emerge victorious after the election.
“Life itself is a challenge and I have the confidence and capacity to wade through challenges and overcome. We are forging ahead and with the strong support of the masses of Nigeria, we are going to achieve resounding victory.”
Tinubu is one of the few presidential aspirants, who have publicly declared their interests. After he openly declared his presidential bid at Aso Rock, more aspirants have done so, both within the ruling APC and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
