He stated that the party is focused on supporting President Buhari achieve his goal of transforming the nation which they described and that he party would take its time not to rush into pitfall.

“There is pitfall in rushing… quick fix depending upon the depth of the rot. It can result in mistakes of unimaginable magnitude. There is equally glory and recovery in slowness when you have a slow fix of a bad foundation. “To me, I rather take the one that will last the country and endure for a longer period of time than rush our shopping,” Tinubu said.

Senator Tinubu said that the President was doing his best to really help the nation recover from the ‘paralysis’ citing a bailout given to some states, which he said was meant to help stimulate the economies of those states.
