The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Saturday said his party would not engage PDP in war of words because they are smarter than them.

He also said his team has the foresight to identify Nigeria’s problems and solve them headlong.

Tinubu stated this at the inauguration of campaign logo and vehicles of the “APC Northern Door-to-Door for Tinubu/Shettima 2023’’ by the Northern APC Speakers Forum in Abuja on Saturday.

He said his team is also capable of creating prosperity for Nigeria and her citizens.

We are the party of progressive ideas. We want good education for our children, good development for Nigeria, prosperity for this country and for agriculture and agro-allied projects to be embarked upon.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has granted bail to the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo.

Oluomo was arrested by the anti-graft agency over alleged financial impropriety.

The Speaker was apprehended by operatives of the commission at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos State.

His arrest was after he allegedly refused to honour several invites sent to him by the agency.

It was learnt that Oluomo was airlifted to Abuja after his arrest in Lagos on Thursday.

But, the Speaker had returned to his Ifo residence as of Saturday morning.

The Speaker’s media aide, Abdulgafar Adeleye, confirmed to newsmen that the Speaker returned home on Saturday morning.

It was gathered that some leaders of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Ifo organized a praise and worship session to celebrate Oluomo’s release.

Siminialayi Fubara, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Rivers state and Uchenna Ikonne, PDP gubernatorial candidate in Abia, were conspicuously absent when the presidential candidate of their party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, met with PDP 2023 guber candidates on Saturday.

Both Fubara and Ikonne had the backings of Governor Nyesom Wike and Okezie Ikpeazu to clinch the gubernatorial tickets in their states.

The meeting held at a time Wike and some governors are in London to deliberate on strategies needed to survive the crisis rocking the party.

Wike has been at loggerheads with the party leadership since he lost the presidential ticket to Atiku. The crisis worsened after Atiku picked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate, ignoring the recommendation of those who shortlisted Wike.
