The Coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Groups has stated that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, swearing in is unstoppable and sacrosanct.
Convener of the event, Niyi Adebayo stated this yesterday at the press conference, held in Abuja, adding that Tinubu is unstoppable president-elect.
He said, “Tinubu is the winner of the 2023 presidential election. We have all paid our dues for Asiwaju to be elected and we will not allow those who did not work for him to take over. We will make an impact in his government, we will be part of his administration.
“We the genuine support groups for Asiwaju, we have now been subjected to intimidation and unwarranted humiliation to those who were initially against the emergency of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“So all the support group are now in the hands of those who do not want the progressive to lead this country even as Asiwaju stand for progressive. There are people who initially were against but immediately they lost the primary election they regroup and today they are no wth the ones in charge of all the support groups of our party.
“So what lead to this convention is for the interest of our party and our people for their voices to be heard. People within the support groups have been cheated and they have suffered and despite that they have given all they have for Asiwaju. And Asiwaju is a good man. He is somebody that reward loyalty, commitment and we want him to hear us now because by the time he comes to government he should know that his own genuine support groups are somewhere and they have been sidelined despite all they contributed.”
Also a former minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, said the presidential candidates of the leading opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, lost the February 25 poll because of lack of vision and proper organisation.
Atiku and Obi are challenging the declaration of the APC’s candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as winner, at the election petition tribunal.
But Shittu said, “I think God had been at work. God made it that Atiku and Obi shouldn’t come together as presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate; we would have lost. They failed to think of that.
“Their failure is as a result of their own lack of vision and proper organisation. In 2019, Buhari got 16 million votes, this time Tinubu got 8 million votes. The opposition divided their votes so it became easier for us to win.
“If we are talking of rigging, you can only rig where you are popular; where you have the full support. The major place we would have rigged was Lagos, Oyo, others, but everybody knows we lost Lagos. So where did we rig?” he queried.
However, a former governorship candidate in Kwara State and member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in the last election, Abdulaziz who expressed worry over the country’s debt profile amounting to trillions of naira called on Nigerians to pray for the incoming President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to overcome the challenges and deliver good governance.
