The Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the policy document of its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, is unique.

He stated that the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that Tinubu plagiarised the Hope 93 manifesto of late Chief M.K.O Abiola was false and misleading.

Babayo asserted that the manifesto of the APC flagbearer seeks to address contemporary challenges bedeviling the country and hindering its progress.

He said: “You know politicians have a way of distracting their audience from the message. Management is management. I am a professional manager and I know the basic principles of management are planning, coordination and control.

“It would continue to be in existence till the end of time. Nobody is going to reinvent the wheel. Issues keep on changing. This manifesto is not a copy and paste. The manifesto is a brand new document that has incorporated some of the monumental challenges of the Nigerian state.

“There was no security challenge that was highlighted in the Hope 93 manifesto. There was no issue of the Maradi-Kano rail line in the 1993 hope manifesto. Nigeria of 1993 is different from Nigeria of today. Soon this administration would open the second Niger bridge.

“There was nothing like that in 1993. This is factual. So I want to dismiss in its entirety the comment made by the spokesperson of the other campaign organisation. They have the right to talk because we are already ahead in the competition.

“And when you are ahead of a competition, you should respect those behind you to try as much as possible to shrink your own share of the market share.

Babayo further noted that the 2023 poll would be the most significant poll in the history of the country, stating that Tinubu would emerge victorious at the 2023 poll.
