A group has called on politicians eyeing the seat of presidency for the 2023 election to surrender and support the presidential ambition of Bola Tinubu.
The group under the auspices of Disciples of Jagaban described the national leader of the All Progressive Congress as the best person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group in a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Abdulhakeem Alawuje on Tuesday in Kaduna maintained that Tinubu is the only candidate from southwest who could gain the interest of the people.
He said, “ A socio-political organisation, the Disciples of Jagaban, has called on all presidential hopefuls to, in the overall interest of Nigeria, accept the superiority of Tinubu’s candidacy and support him to become Nigeria’s president in 2023.
“With the zoning of the presidency to the Southwest Nigeria, the Disciples of Jagaban is once again calling all presidential hopefuls in Nigeria, particularly from the same Southwest to accept the candidacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, since he towers above all other contestants.
“Tinubu is coming to serve us as Nigerians, and not as a boss to rule over us; he would positively lead us to the promised land.
“Retreat your steps and surrender to a politician of note, DOJ urges the APC/PDP leaders, religious leaders, traditional leaders and the entire youths of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to support the best candidate.”
Alawuje also called on youths to support Tinubu to become president of the country in 2023.
“Our youths should, therefore, realise that just as a brilliant First Class student cannot be the Vice-Chancellor of a University, it similarly takes time to grow from being a youth to an experienced and a mature man.
“Fellow Nigerians, this is not just a campaign for Tinubu, it is an appeal to all Nigerians, irrespective of our ethnic and religion, to come together to give Tinubu all the desired support he needs to rescue the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the President,” he added.
