Why I delegated El-Rufai, Gbajabiamila, others to answer questions at Chatham house – Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has revealed why he asked some members of the party to respond to questions directed to him at Chatham house, London, on Monday, December 5.

Tinubu, while explaining why he delegated questions, said that the decision was to show that he relies on team spirit in handling situations.

The former Lagos state governor, while addressing Nigerians and foreigners at Chatham house, assigned Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to speak on how he would address insecurity, and asked the director of strategic communication of the APC presidential campaign council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.

Tinubu also delegated a former commissioner for finance in Lagos state, Wale Edun, to respond to a question on how he would boost the economy if he becomes president in 2023, according to The Vanguard.

Others who attended to various questions were the speaker of the house of representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, former Ekiti state governor, Kayode Fayemi, and APC national women’s leader, Dr. Betta Edu.

Tinubu said that, “Let me demonstrate to everyone here that one of the philosophies and doctrines that I believe firmly in is team work. To demonstrate this, I’ll assign these questions to my team.”
