Nicolas Felix: Tinubu came fully prepared… Nigerians didn’t elect a novice

Nicolas Felix, a former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says Nigerians are “in safe hands” with President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking after a meeting with Tinubu in Lagos on Monday, Felix said his discussion with the president showed that he is fully prepared for the job he was elected for.

Felix, who contested against Tinubu during the APC presidential primary for the 2023 election, said he was struck by the president’s “insight and clear understanding of the issues” during their discussion.

He added the president “is not only qualified but also fully equipped to steer the country in the right direction”.

“This is not just a leader settling in; someone who came fully prepared and knows exactly what he’s doing,” the former presidential aspirant said.

“I thanked the President for fulfilling his campaign promises to empower young people and women within his administration. It’s unprecedented to see such strong representation at the federal level. It shows his commitment to building an inclusive and diverse leadership.

“I had the privilege of discussing key policies with him, and I was struck by his insight and clear understanding of the issues. Nigerians didn’t elect a novice. We have a leader who is not only qualified but also fully equipped to steer the country in the right direction. I must say, we are in very safe hands.”
