APC-USA Says Tinubu’s Presidency Will Redeem Nigeria
The National Youths Leader, APC-USA, a Diaspora Chapter for the ruling party, Oyakhilome Bello, said the presidential candidate of APC has paid the necessary price in terms of democratic governance, to rule the country.
Bello, who responded to questions via WhatsApp messages, said, “The Diaspora Chapter is backing Tinubu because of his track political records during the struggle for democracy in the 1990s and how the former governor was able to transform Lagos State from 1999 to 2007.”
Meanwhile, the APC-USA National Youths Leader said the Presidential aspirant should be encouraged to lead the country because of his (Tinubu) support for democracy.
He said, “If you remember very well our country faced unprecedented times when the June 12, 1993 Presidential Election was annulled by the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) but the likes of Tinubu and others staked everything to enable Nigeria returned to democratic rule that we enjoy today.”
He appealed to all political stakeholders in the South that since critical stakeholders, especially some major northern governors of APC had agreed that the next president must come from the South, the responsibility is now on the south to ensure that Tinubu, who won the APC’s presidential ticket through the support of the north, is backed to win the major contest on February 25, 2023.
Bello also hinged the support of the Diaspora Chapter for Tinubu on the track records of the national leader as governor of Lagos. He described Tinubu as the most consistent political figure in the Fourth Republic and one who has a network across Nigeria.
Speaking on the factors that would work for Tinubu in the coming election, Bello said, “There’s almost every factor working for him ahead of the other candidates. His level of experience in the public and private sectors is incomparable to other presidential candidates.
“Tinubu managed the biggest and largest city/economy in Africa as governor for eight years and he was able to raise the standard of the state despite several challenges. His capacity to form a formidable team is none compared to other candidates. Bola Ahmed level of selection of brains can be attested to without even holding the highest position in the country. There are facts to buttress Tinubu’s contributions to the development of humanity in the last 30 years. He will do more if elected president.”
Bello added that the fact that APC has more governors and public officials today gives Tinubu an edge over other contestants.
According to The APC-USA youths leader, Tinubu knows what it would take to have a Nigeria that we dream of and we can be proud to call our home. “Take a look at his manifesto ‘Action Plan’ the former governor of Lagos has greatly stretched his hands across all aisles even to the diaspora. “For every great nation is born with a vision and the ability to build despite all odds,” he said.
