A Northern group, Arewa Youth Alliance for 2023, has drummed up support for the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, describing him as the best presidential material come 2023.
Releasing a statement on Thursday, the convener of the group, Bello Lawan-Bello, called on all the political parties to adopt Mr Tinubu as their sole candidate, assuring them that majority of Northern youths are longing to elect him as President.
Mr Bello added that the APC leader has the capacity, national appeal and know-how to lead and unite Nigeria based on his landmark achievement as Lagos State governor and his “voluminous contribution to success of President Buhari administration”.
“Majority of the people from Northern Nigeria believe that when the Presidency is zoned to the Southern part of the country, there is this single person that has the capacity, capability and charisma to take Nigeria to the promised land and the man is no any other person than His Excellency, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
“It is a fact that His Excellency Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu is a champion for progress and development as it was evident with his antecedents while he was the Governor of Lagos State.
“His policies and actions culminated into a practical development model that based on research conducted, many states in Nigeria have since adopted.
“This model is also being used by prestigious institutions of learning across the globe as one of the successful development and economic models from Africa’s largest country.
“The Arewa Youth Alliance for 2023 will leave no stone unturned to ensure that His Excellency Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu becomes the next President of Nigeria come 2023 God Willing,” the statement stressed.
