Yoruba Youths Converge in Abeokuta, Endorse Tinubu for Nigeria’s President
By Felicia Amos/LAGOS// The South West Youth Forum (SWYF) comprising delegates from Ondo, Ekiti ,Ogun, Oyo , Lagos and Ondo State endorsed the candidacy of the all Progressive congress APC flag bearer , Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 25 2023 presidential Election.
It has become imperative for Youths from across Yoruba states and settlement to rally round Tinubu for victory at the poll given the wrong speculations and misconceptions being expressed in certain quarters about Tinubu’s personality.ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU IS A PACESETTER, LIVING LEGEND, PATRIOT TO THE CORE, NATIONALIST, GREAT DEMOCRAT, MAGNANIMOUS, INTELLIGENT, PRAGMATIC, BUILDER OF LEADERS AND GOD SENT LIBERATOR (LEADER) OF TIME.“Tinubu only, among the top three candidates for the February 25 presidential election, possesses the required standard in education, exposure and experience to move Nigerians out her present challenges and provide Nigerians a new lease of life in line with his campaign slogan, ‘Renewed Hope,” SWYF is throwing its support for Tinubu in line with its core mandate of protecting the interest and advancing the course and aspiration of Youths any fields, anywhere in the world. Nigeria’s foundation appears to shaky as songs of disintegration and dismemberment are being echoed by different ethnic nationalities on account of the age-long discontent and disillusionment occasioned by the inequitable distribution of the country’s commonwealth and the apparent neglect of the Federal Character Code thereby denying some sections of Nigeria a sense of belonging. “Tinubu and the party he represents, APC, is conscious of the depressing nature of our country and, if elected, is more than determined to right the wrongs and bring genuine relief to the victimized and marginalized Nigerians as well creating an enabling environment for all Nigerians to thrive and succeed irrespective of tribe, religion or party affiliationTinubu’s track record as Lagos State governor when he appointed Igbos as commissioners and other qualified non Yoruba persons into key governmental positions, which it notes speaks volume of his belief in the oneness of the Nigerian nation.“There are pretenders who pay lip service to the issue of unity and diversity of the country. However, Tinubu’s noble ideals has continued to be replicated by successive governors in Lagos State, from Fashola to Ambode and now, Sanwo-Olu,” How to tackle the near-collapsed security of the country, is held dearly to the heart of Tinubu “and this critical and all-important national issue will be holistically addressed in line with his manifesto when voted into power.” “Our national economy is in a state of comatose as Nigerians groan helplessly under the adverse effects of galloping inflation, fuel scarcity, naira shortage, unemployment and low or zero productivity. It is paradoxical that many Nigerians are extremely poor and living below the poverty line in a land endowed with huge human and natural resources. More importantly, the concept of power rotation between the North and South in every election cycle is recognized and respected by most of the political parties’ constitutions. President Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani man from the North, has spent almost eight years; it is natural. To this end, it is now the turn of the South to present his successor without much ado. Asiwaju Tinubu may not be the only candidate from the South contesting for the exalted office, but he is the most qualified, most capable, most competent and most experienced of all the presidential candidates.Again, the 2023 general poll presents another unique opportunity for the Youths race and nation to get it right and avoid a repeat of what transpired in 1963 and 1993 when our two illustrious south West, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, respectively, were denied the presidency on account of tribal enmity and lack of unity. The electoral Waterloo that befell the south West then must not be allowed to befall us again.South West Youth of six states calls on all Nigerians, especially Youths voters to come out in their millions and cast their ballots for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu it is the time for national unity
