Former lawmaker representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Ben Murray-Bruce, has explained why he joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Murray-Bruce said 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 benefit.
He made this known on Thursday while speaking on Prime Time, an Arise Television programme monitored by AljazirahNigeria
According to the businessman and politician, political parties are secondary compared to the vision and leadership of the person at the top.
“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.
Murray-Bruce likened Nigeria’s current economic situation to a patient recovering from surgery, noting that recovery would take time and patience from citizens.
