The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, said on Wednesday that he will be the next president of Nigeria while soliciting the votes of the people of Rivers State.

Tinubu, who arrived the venue at about 4pm for an event slated for 10am, was accompanied by the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, National Vice Chairman of the party, South-South, Chief Victor Giadom, Rivers State governorship candidate of the APC, Tonye Cole, among others.
Although, former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi was conspicuously missing at the event, his loyalist, including the APC Chairman in the state, Emeka Beke and others were in attendamce.
While apologising to the party faithful and crowd of supporters, Tinubu said it was neither his intention nor the fault of theirs for coming far behind schedule, saying, “This politics in political.”
He further said, “Here we are again in Nigeria and in Rivers State. It is not fish that we are looking for, it is not crayfish because it is also in Lagos.
