Support groups urge Tinubu to compensate members with board appointments

A coalition of support groups across the country under the aegis of G36 Renewed Hope Support Group has called on President Bola Tinubu to compensate them with board appointments.

Explaining why they should be compensated with appointments, the support groups said their members stole and borrowed money to oil the campaign wheels of Mr Tinubu.

“Your Excellency, you are a grassroots politician, so you are aware of all we must have passed through during the election. Many of our support groups borrowed, begged, indirectly stole and sold our properties to ensure victory for you at the poll,” stated the groups in Lagos on Wednesday at a press conference.

“On this note, we are speaking in one voice, appealing to you that we deserve to be compensated.”

The group’s leader, Samson Bilesanmi, noted that “we know we cannot all be your ministers, special assistants, or chief of staff, but you can appoint us into federal boards and agencies which are over 200 in number.”
