Former lawmaker Ben Murray-Bruce, who represented the Bayelsa East Senatorial District, has shared his reasons for joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Murray-Bruce explained that his choice was motivated solely by President Bola Tinubu’s leadership qualities and his ability to revitalize Nigeria’s economy, rather than party loyalty or personal benefits.
This revelation came on Thursday during an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a program aired on Arise Television, which was monitored by DAILY POST.
He emphasized that political parties are insignificant when compared to the leadership and vision of the individual in charge.
“It’s about leadership. It’s not the party. Forget about party — parties are irrelevant. It’s about the man at the top,” he stated.
“President Tinubu has demonstrated that he can lead Nigeria, restore the economy, and assemble an exceptional team. People seek immediate results, but that expectation is unrealistic. Nigeria is in a dire situation and requires time to heal,” he added.
He compared Nigeria’s current economic state to a patient recuperating from surgery.
