Tinubu most suitable to succeed Buhari, says Afenifere

pan-Yoruba socio-political group, the Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG) has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is the most suitable and capable candidate to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.

The group in a statement in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, yesterday declared that Tinubu towered above all other candidates jostling for the plum position. The statement by its Ekiti State Publicity Secretary, Michael Ogungbemi, said the APC standard bearer remains the candidate to beat in the election based on his competence, experience, capacity, pedigree, strong political network, as well record of service.

He said that the former Lagos State governor with his magic wand and the problem-solving policy thrust would help tackle headlong the problems of insecurity, poverty, youth employment, economic instability and other challenges facing the country.

Ogungbemi said Tinubu’s track record of performance in Lagos has been adopted as a reference point in Nigeria’s chequered political trajectory, hence, the APC standard bearer is the best to take the baton after Buhari’s exit.

The chairman of the Ajoni Local Council Development Area of Ekiti State said other candidates were bereft of any record to flaunt to convince Nigerians that they have better programmes than Tinubu.

The ARG image maker added that the progressive and purposeful way Tinubu piloted Lagos, was a strong testament to his competence, capability, capacity and incurable penchant for good governance.

He said: “The ARG’s support for Tinubu was not on the parochial basis of ethnicity, but based on the conviction about his astuteness in governance and prospects to deliver the dividends of governance for the populace.

“Our decision was carefully taken. The leadership and members painstakingly took an in-depth and holistic assessment of his leadership styles, political sagacity, democratic credential, human resource management, impeccable performance, and detribalised posture. So, it was on this basis that we adopted him as our candidate for 2023.

“Asiwaju’s manifesto has spoken for him. It has encapsulated the needs of Nigerians and has expressively stated an efficient and effective solution to tackle hydra-headed issues facing the country.

Tinubu’s captivating policy bordering on restructuring, power generation, state policing system and others, have given strong signals that he is truly prepared to bring succour to the misgoverned Nigerians and take the country to the next level.”

He, therefore, called on Nigerians to vote en masse for Tinubu during the February 25 presidential election for the overall progress and growth of the country.(Nation)
