The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, commended President Muhammadu Buhari for following the “procedures” that saw his emergence as the party’s flag bearer.
He spoke during the grand finale of the APC presidential campaign at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos.
Before the APC primary election on 8 June, the president had been perceived to have a preferred successor other than Mr Tinubu.

Mr Tinubu arrived at the campaign rally in the company of Mr Buhari, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, his running mate; Kashim Shetima, Lagos governor; Babajide Sanwo-Olu, APC national chairman; Adamu Abdulahi, and many other party leaders.
“Thank you a million times, thank you for today, thank you for the past…
