Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he wonders why the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) still exists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Lagos governor spoke on Saturday at the unveiling of the Tinubu\/Shettima door-to-door campaign group in Abuja. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tinubu, who described the PDP as a party that lacks direction, urged members of his party not to be bothered about the opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not just the ones to hurl abuses and insults at our rivals\u2019 party. We don\u2019t need it. We are smarter; we are brilliant; we are courageous; we are not like them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey spent 16 years and forgot that there is a railway infrastructure that can do haulage, human carriage, animal husbandry and food carriage across the length and breadth of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (PDP) got there and turned it to an incubator. I wonder why they still exist as a party. These are people still fighting for leadership of their party, looking for the direction of the compass. We are not equal at all; we are smarter. We know the road; let them follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need to worry about PDP \u2014 poverty development party. Today, let\u2019s lower the temperature. It\u2019s not the time to campaign yet. They will hear a lot from us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the party of progressive ideas. We want good education for our children, good development for Nigeria, prosperity for this country, agricultural and agro-allied projects to be embarked upon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The PDP ruled Nigeria for 16 years \u2014 from 1999 to 2015 \u2014 after which President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC assumed office.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PDP is also currently in crisis over its leadership, with several calls for Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the party, to step down<\/strong><\/a> for a southerner since the party\u2019s presidential candidate is also from the north.<\/p>\n

Speaking further on his party\u2019s plans for Nigeria, Tinubu said the APC has the solution to the country\u2019s problems, adding that the party is strategising to tackle the challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the confidence that we have what it takes. We have the courage, determination, perseverance and foresight to identify the problems of Nigeria and tackle them headlong and make a solution out of them for the prosperity of your children. We will guarantee tomorrow, jobs for your grandchildren, and the progress of tomorrow,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll we are doing is strategising, calculating and organising ourselves to confront the challenge before us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Also speaking, Kashim Shettima, APC vice-presidential candidate, said Tinubu\u2019s presidency will turn Nigeria into an industrialised nation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on the threshold of making history. The global economy is tilting towards recession because the world has moved from the agricultural age to the industrial age,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have moved from the industrial age to the knowledge-driven age. People are now talking of big data of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and open biotechnology.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho among the presidential candidates we have here in this country has the skill set, the intellect, the capacity to move this nation greater than asiwaju Bola Tinubu?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
