Former lawmaker who represented Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Ben Murray-Bruce, has disclosed his reason for joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Murray-Bruce stated that his decision was driven purely by President Bola Tinubu’s leadership qualities and capacity to rebuild Nigeria’s economy, not by party affiliation or personal gain.
He revealed this on Thursday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
According to him, political parties were irrelevant compared to the leadership and vision of the individual at the helm.
“It’s about leadership. It’s not the party. Forget about party — parties are irrelevant. It’s about the man at the top.
“President Tinubu has shown that he can lead Nigeria, he can fix the economy, he can put together a dream team. People want immediate results, but that’s not going to happen. Nigeria is in very bad shape and needs time to recover,” he said.
He likened Nigeria’s current economic condition to a patient recovering from surgery.
