The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asíwájú Bola Tinubu, took his campaign to Ondo State yesterday where he told the electorate to vote for him massively in next month's election in order to secure the future of the country.

He said neither the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP's) flag bearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, nor that of Labour Party (LP), Mr.Peter Obi, deserved to be entrusted with the destiny of Nigeria in view of their antecedents.

'Buyer, beware of salesmen selling fake merchandise.

'The truth of the difference between my leadership and that of Mr. Obi lies in one observation: although Lagos is crowded and Anambra has ample space, more people left Obi's Anambra seeking a better life in Tinubu's Lagos than left Lagos believing Obi had established a blueprint for growth in Anambra.

'My people, you cannot entrust your future or that of our nation to Mr. Sell Everything Atiku or Mr. Stingy Obi. But you can trust Mr...
