The Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG) has described the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the ‘most qualified’ to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2023 presidential election.
The group insisted that Tinubu’s well-articulated and all-encompassing policy-thrust centred around improved power generation, youth empowerment, state policing, infrastructure, commensurate budgetary provision to Education and others, will tackle poverty, joblessness, dropouts and insecurity in the country.
The pro-democracy and socio-cultural group, said Tinubu’s track records of performance in Lagos has been adopted as a reference point in the country’s political trajectory, hence, the best to take the baton after the exit of the current occupant of the Ado Villa.
The ARG said this in Ado Ekiti, on Friday, in its solidarity message on Tinubu’s campaign visit to Ekiti State to advance his presidential bid and signed by the State Publicity Secretary of the group, Hon. Michael Ogungbemi.
Ogungbemi, who is the Chairman of Ajoni Local Council Development Area of Ekiti State, stated that Tinubu’s opponents were bereft of any record they can flaunt to convince Nigerians that they have better programmes than the APC candidate.
The Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, said Asiwaju’s captivating policy , bordering on restructuring, improved power generation, state policing system and others, gave strong signal that he was truly prepared to bring succour to the misgoverned Nigerians and take the country to the next level.
The body added that the progressive way Asiwaju piloted Lagos State, was a strong testament to his competence, capability, capacity and unwavering character as well as penchant for good governance.
