A northern group under the aegis of Kaduna Good Governance Project has demanded that the All Progressive Congress (APC) National leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged as a consensus candidate of the party in the forthcoming presidential election. The Coordinator of the group, Prince Zubairu Mukhtar made the demand while addressing a press conference in Kaduna.
“We are therefore using this occasion to pledge our unalloyed support to the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We are convinced that Nigeria is indeed deserving of a highly cerebral and committed individual such as Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to pilot the country’s affairs come 2023. We dare say that from all those that have indicated interest to rule Nigeria come 2023, none can boast of the commitment to the peace and unity of the county than Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
The group commended Tinubu for donating fifty million Naira to the victims of Kaduna train attack and also for cancelling his 70th birthday celebration in solidarity with the victims of the train attack. It was indeed a great display of courage by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which by all ramifications, is a central component of the type of leadership that Nigeria deserves”.
The group said “we want to state that Tinubu has demonstrated rare solidarity to the people of Kaduna state and Nigeria in general in ways too numerous to mention”. The group reiterated that the APC National leader understands the dynamic of leadership and will certainly make a good President.
