A group in the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory, on Sunday endorsed former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for the presidency in 2023, maintaining that he is the most qualified to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group, under the aegis of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu Support group, at its meeting in Kaduna State, said the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has all the qualities to tackle the myriads of socio-economic challenges confronting the nation including insecurity and an ailing economy.
Speaking at the Sunday’s meeting , its Director-General, Patrick Olatunji, described Tinubu as a detribalized person who has mentored and made thousands of people in politics and business, noting that he will replicate the same when he becomes the president in 2023.
“He has demonstrated it in Lagos State, he is prepared for the job. He is ambitious to be President, but he is prepared. He has trained many people, he has foot soldiers in all nooks and crannies in this country.
“They work for him and that is why all of us are here. By the grace of God, when he gets there, I know our problem in this country will be solved 100 per cent.
“This man has connections all over the world. When there was [an] election crisis in Osun that PDP said they won the election, he traveled abroad to get these forensic people, the first in the whole world. He used that forensic tactic to win back Osun State”, he said.
Olatunji assured that Tinubu will revamp the nation’s power sector as well as make industries strive.
Other members of the group also said that majority of northern residents have already bought into the Tinubu 2023 presidential project on the grounds that he has the capacity to reunite and champion the country on the part of progress and also tackle insecurity.
They said the country still needs mature people with vast knowledge and experience like Tinubu to take it to the level of greater development and progress.
