Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has lauded the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC and former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his emergence as the presidential flag bearer of the APC for the 2023 General election.

He said his victory is a manifestation of his years of personal commitment, sacrifice, tenancy, political experience and service to the nation.
Describing Tinubu as an enigmatic leader and strong pillar with immense influence, Yahaya expressed confidence that the APC standard bearer, has the capacity, acumen and sagacity to mobilise support across the length and breath of the country to give the ruling party a resounding victory at the forthcoming general elections.

He said Senator Tinubu has proven that he is able and capable to lead the nation, having governed Lagos state with a magic wand.
While commending President Muhammadu Buhari for providing leadership and guidance that led to the enthronement of a transparent internal democratic process which resulted in the successful conduct of the APC Special Convention and Presidential primary, the Governor urged other aspirants, party stalwarts and faithful to rally round the flag bearer to ensure victory at the 2023 Polls.
