In his words, “Take the pairs of all the political parties presidential candidates and their running mates.
“You cannot find any of them that can come close to the combination of Tinubu and Shettima.
“Take them one by one and compare them with any of the two pairs in other parties, you won’t go far before you realise that it is not a contest.
“Take Tinubu and what he has done in Lagos state and the country physically, politically, socially, culturally and economically, I do not see any presidential candidate that can match his competence, achievements and vision.”
Al-Makura said in terms of defence of democracy, none among all the candidates can be called the defender of Nigeria’s democracy than Tinubu.
According to Al-Makura, Lagos was now the economic commercial hub of Nigeria, adding, “this man with his vision and ideas made Lagos a centre of excellence.
“And it is not only Lagos that benefited from his wisdom, but other revenues that are being generated from Lagos is also part of his contribution to the national economy.”
Al-Makura also commended Tinubu for mentoring many prominent Nigerians.
