The APC National Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dominated Nigeria’s politics for over two decades and long been expected to make a run for the country’s topmost job- the presidency.
Lovetvnews Nigeria reports that against this backdrop, a group known as Tinubu Support Organisation, TSO has threatened to drag All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, popularly known as JAGABAN to court, if he fails to yield to their demand, asking him to contest in the next presidential election in order to help save and take Nigeria to the next level.
Addressing a world press conference in Lagos on Wednesday, the Director-General of the group, Aminu Suleiman stated that their request was motivated by Asiwaju’s years of positive impact on the Nigerian political scene, tremendous mentorship of several political actors who are actively championing various offices and wealth of experience in governance and policies. Aminu told newsmen point blank that “if he refuses to contest, we’ll take him to court”, stating that Nigeria cannot have a leader who is capable of helping the nation and then continue to languish in epileptic development.
Aminu who noted that the organization, founded two years ago, is dedicated to rallying support for Tinubu across the country ahead of 2023 presidential said the group is already creating a national awareness to ensure Tinubu is electorally enthroned.
TSO believes that a man whose CV is embodied in the current Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, former governors of Lagos, Babatunde Raji Fashola, Ambode, the current Minister of Information, Arts and Culture, Lai Muhammed, Speaker, House of Representatives will himself have greater packages of Democracy to offer the entire nation if supported into power.
Lovetvnews reports that the women are not left out in this dream of ensuring that Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu becomes Nigeria’s next president.
According to the leader of the women arm of TSO , Fatima Bello, she stated unequivocally that although their gesture is not to campaign for Tinubu, but to express their belief in the former Lagos state governor in taking Nigeria to the promised land, starting from 2023.
The deputy women-leader, Raliat Abdulsalam also revealed that the reason the women faction of the organization decided to throw their full weight behind the initiative is Tinubu’s exemplary and inclusive leadership style and sympathy towards the women cause over the years.
“When he was governor, he picked people from different states to hold [political] positions [in Lagos]. Which state in Nigeria today [would] bring anybody from outside their states to become a commissioner, Tinubu did that”, she stated.
While expressing that Asiwaju is not greedy for power, she said, “he has supported people from the north to be president, he has supported people from the south…he was governor and [after his tenures] he didn’t run for the senate seat, like most governors do when they leave governorship, instead, he built people that are still in power today”.
Raliat who revealed that some of them do not even have any personal relationship with the APC chieftain or his family said they only see in him a vision, someone that can lead the nation out of her present predicament.
Tinubu who was a two-termed governor of Lagos is widely credited with the State’s social and economic progress over the past two decades and he has ensured that his proteges rule since he left the post.
