Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has hinted on his major contenders ahead of the 2023 elections.

Although there are 18 parties contesting for the presidential election, Bola Tinubu has however, narrowed the presidential candidates to three including himself.

Whereas names were not mentioned, one would assume that the other two parties popularly known with vast supporters are Atiku Abubakar of the People Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

Tinubu said, “Between all of us running (sic), we are three now left. Isn’t it? One just failed the most important part of the examination. Are you a unifier or a divider? He said ‘I am from the North’. You are a divider!”

The APC candidate promised to resolve the electricity problem in the country, describing it as the only driver of industrialisation and wealth of every nation.

He claimed that the PDP had spent $16billion on electricity in its 16 years rule but failed to address the situation of epileptic power supply.

“I am reminding you that you don’t need a party who has served 16 years and forget that electricity is the only driver of industrialization and wealth of every nation.

“They spent $16bn and we are still paying for estimated metre and billing. No more!

“I promise to give you 100 not 50, even Dubai they are talking about has only 50. So you will have it better from me than in Dubai,” he added.
