Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has drummed support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying that his indisputable capability to effectively manage human and material resources for visible progress stands him out as the most qualified Nigerian to be president in 2023.
Tinubu’s qualification, according to the Governor, is based on his shown ability to use a combination of intellect and statecraft to nurture a metropolis on the verge of a thriving economy, stressing that the success in Lagos is still a visible experiment launched by the APC National Leader.
Sanwo-Olu drummed up support for Tinubu’s candidacy on Thursday, during the formal launch of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (ABAT) Movement’s Working Committees in Ikeja GRA,. The Movement was created and established by members of the Lagos Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) to realize the former Lagos Governor’s presidential ambition.
The Governor was in company of his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, and all members of the State Executive Council.
Also, APC leaders across the State’s 57 local councils and a large number of party supporters thronged the event’s venue to lend their support.
Sanwo-Olu said Nigeria had continued to shoulder the burden of the black race, stressing that the country’s transformation into a stable economy would be a source of pride to the black man.
The Governor said the country was in need of a capable leader with progressive ideas to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari and build on the progress recorded by the current administration.
Tinubu’s practicable ideas in governance, Sanwo-Olu said, makes him the most qualified successor and salable choice for the job.
