- Insists Tinubu more formidable in six geo-political zones
- Says Sanwo-Olu, other APC candidates set for victory
- Calls Gbajabiamila, Desmond Elliot Surulere redeemers
Lagos leader, Adeyinka Adedoyin on Monday evaluated the character of those eyeing the country’s presidential seat, describing the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as ‘’decent, honest and trustworthy’’
‘’Experience is the foundation of leadership. Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a promoter of unity, development and the well-being of the people. He will contribute significantly to general economic stability in the country’’.
He also urged the electorate in Surulere Constituency 1 to support only a man with a great knowledge of the challenges of the people in the 2023 election.
‘’Surulere Constituency 1 electorate must be clear as to the type of leadership required to meet the herculean challenges ahead. The people still need Rt. Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila to steer the affairs of the constituency because of his wisdom and the good work he is doing in the area. The Constituency needs a soft spoken and strong representative. We need a bright, amiable and undaunted fellow’’
Adedoyin spoke during the Presidential Mega Rally by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere.
The Lagos APC chieftain counseled those plotting to drag Nigeria especially Lagos State into backwardness to have a rethink.
He applauded Tinubu for changing Lagos State and charting the way forward for the Nigerian State.’’
‘Bola Ahmed Tinubu will address the socio-economic and environmental problems of the Niger Delta. Nothing in the life of the PDP presidential and Lagos PDP governorship candidates seemed to hint at a spirit of reform and love for the people.
The APC chieftain praised Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila and the member representing Surulere in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Desmond Olushola Elliot, for acting in the best interests of the good people of Lagos State.
He underscored the Lagos PDP governorship candidate’s ferocious temper, unacceptable behaviour, reputation for brusqueness and controversies.
Particularly Adedoyin urged the electorate not to support troublemakers and contemptible individuals.
‘’Do we need someone barren of ideas and unsympathetic to the plight of the people? The answer is no. The opposition party’s candidate has been so colourless that no Lagos leader can actually say what he stands for.
Adedoyin who is also a businessman, computer scientist and chieftain of the ruling party sketched out a vision of a future Lagos.
‘’The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila and the member representing Surulere in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Honourable Desmond Olushola Elliot, are making a lot of Lagosians to stand on their feet. They are putting the needs and wishes of Lagosians above their own, pushing for investments in human capacity development, roads, bridges, housing, transportation, education and healthcare.
The Lagos leader who is taking steps to ensure APC victory in all the polling units in Lagos State praised the presiding officer of the House of Representatives for empowering the good people of Surulere Constituency 1, enforcing constitutional separation of powers and delivering results for the good of Nigeria.
He also emphasized the APC’s obligations to the people of Lagos State especially Surulere Constituency 1.
‘’Senator Bola Tinubu’s presidency will offer the six geo-political zones tangible dividends of democracy’’
Maritime workers reject Atiku, Obi, back Tinubu
The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will win the February 25 Presidential Election in Nigeria with a clear majority, Convener, Asiwaju Maritime Network, Malam Usman Ka’oje said at the weekend.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the group’s walk-in support of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Apapa, Kaóje said the maritime sector would be harnessed by the APC presidential candidate for the greater good of the people and the country.
.
‘’Nigeria needs a strategic thinker, goal-oriented leader with pragmatic vision. Nigeria needs someone that has the capacity to transform and convert potentials and opportunities into tangible results. Senator Bola Ahmed is truly a choice of the people. Maritime personnel in Nigeria are working hard to gain support for him all over the country’’.
Present at the road walk were the Director General, Arewa Support Movement, Mohammed Lawal, Mrs T.A Jakande, Barrister Shehu Popoola-Taiwo, Mr. Kolawale Saheed, Mr. Suleiman A. Daura, Mr. Usman Abdullahi, Mal. Abdullahi Jigawa and Olanrewaju Saheed among others.
‘’Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu will build a sound economy, set up an economic program, make the country prosperous, build a good transportation system and use federal money to build roads. We also expect him to put an end to poverty, underdevelopment and bad leadership in the country’’ Kaóje said.
He recalled Tinubu’s role in the development of Nigeria, particularly Lagos State.
‘’Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu built, transformed and stabilized Lagos economy as the third largest economy in Africa. With Tinubu as the nation’s president, Nigeria will reclaim its lost glory as the giant of Africa.
Continuing, he said ‘’Tinubu will be a strong president. He will reform the prison system, address challenges in the manufacturing sector, protect the federal government from dishonesty, bring about greater democracy in Nigeria and improve the lives of persons with handicaps.
Also, the Secretary General of Asiwaju Maritime Network, Shehu Popoola-Taiwo described the APC presidential candidate as a transformer, bridge builder and a trusted leader.
‘’The maritime sector can feed the nation. Ahmed Bola Tinubu is the man who knows the road to a greater Nigeria. What he did as Lagos State governor twenty years back is what stands for him, and that is the reason why Nigerians are behind him. He is a transformer, bridge builder and a trusted leader that will lead Nigeria to a greater height and harness the resources in different parts of the country for the benefit of all.
He commended Nigerians for supporting the APC presidential candidate.
“We are here to show solidarity and support to Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu. He is a game changer, transformer and a man who can do it, and will do it for the maritime sector and other sectors in Nigeria. You can see that the turnout for this road walk is amazing; people are here to support Asiwaju, despite the current hardship and challenges in the country. They know that the hardship will be over when Asiwaju becomes the president of Nigeria”
For Honourable Adeleye Taiwo, the Chairman of APC in Apapa Local Government Area, Tinubu’s presidential ambition is a good omen for Nigeria.
‘’APC in conjunction with the Asiwaju Maritime Network has been mobilising and creating awareness for people in the country to know the need for Asiwaju to be the country’s president. People are coming out to support the move with passion despite the current situation, because of the experience we have with him as a governor of Lagos State twenty years ago. We know how he managed the state without the state allocation from the federal government, so he knows how to face challenges and resolve issues, and that is why we are out to support him ” he said.
Honourable Tunde Balogun, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Apapa Federal Constituency, scolded those working against the ruling party in the country.
‘’We are working with the maritime workers to support the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and all other APC candidates contesting in the 2023 elections. We want to give out a signal that despite the work of some bad eggs to create confusion within APC and Nigerians by introducing some harsh policies at this time, we want to assure them we will remain calm and go out on election day and vote for Asiwaju. He will become the president of Nigeria by the grace of God “. He said.
Rallies, parades and slogans were used by the workers in the last six months to gain support for the APC Presidential Candidate.
The 2023 presidential election is a four-way race between Bola Tinubu, Abubakar Atiku, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The road walk, led by the Asiwaju Maritime Network in conjunction with the All Progressives Congress in Apapa, took off from Apapa Port to Apapa local government secretariat.
