Bola Tinubu
The race for the 2023 presidency has began with northern youths endorsing APC national leader, Bola Tinubu.
Northern youths under the auspices of United Northern Youth and
Students (UNYS) have endorsed former Lagos State governor and chieftain
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for
Presidency in 2023, according to a report by TheNation.
The group also condemned the call by Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai for the abolition of power rotation in the country.
Coordinator of the youth group, Comrade Jabir Maiturare, who
addressed a press conference in Kaduna on Friday, said Tinubu has
contributed immensely to the North politically, particularly his
coordination of the South West for an overwhelming support that brought
about the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 as well as his
re-election in 2019.
Maiturare said: “Let it be known that Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu has
not declared to contest for any position yet. Instead, he is solidly
behind President Muhammadu Buhari and giving him the required support.
“In any case, whenever he seeks to contest for any position,
including the presidency in 2023, we are ready to give him overwhelming
support, and we therefore dissociate ourselves from such irresponsible
act of some minority youth from the North.
“In the same vein, we wish to state categorically that Governor
Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai’s statement against the zoning arrangement in
place is uncalled for and should not be given any serious thought
because he speaks only for himself and not for the North.”
The group noted that Tinubu has shown himself as a man of integrity
and a party man to the core, whose efforts and contribution to the
party has produced good results over time.
