North-East Group Supports Tinubu For 2023 President
Our Reporter, Bauchi
A group under the aegis of ‘Ahmed Bola Tinubu for 2023 President’, on Saturday said that Tinubu is a detribalized Nigerian that can lead the country effectively.
This is contained in a statement jointly signed by the North-East Coordinator and Bauchi state Coordinator of the group, Engr. Ahmed Yusuf and Danjuma Suleiman.
The group described Tinubu as a selfless Nigerian who appointed people that are not from Lagos State as government officials including Commissioners, Special Advisers among others.
“During his tenure, he was acceptable everywhere across the country and with such attributes, he will be a good President of Nigeria.
“Among all those who have either publicly or silently indicated interest in the 2033 presidency, Sen. Ahmed Bola Tinubu (Jagaban) is the most qualified to contest for the office of the president to eventually become the next president of Nigeria considering his political pedigree which cannot be equalled by any politician in the country,” the statement read in part.
The group also stated that as a two tenure Governor of Lagos State, Tinubu excelled in the area of transformation of every facet of Human and infrastructural development.
It added that the APC National Leader succeeded even in the face of stiff opposition from the then Federal Government led by the PDP Administration.

“The Tinubu led Government was not deterred but went about the act of governance through internally generated revenue (IGR).
“He developed every aspect of the state to an enviable position in the country and all others who came after him have been able to build on what foundation he laid,” said the group.
