The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Vice Chairman in the Southwest, Isaac Kekemeke, has urged the Yoruba race to give Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu maximum support and massively vote for him in the 2023 presidential election.
He noted that Tinubu has never betrayed the Yoruba race, adding that he will not when he becomes the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Kekemeke, disclosed these during a press conference, on Wednesday, in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state.
He said that the party has set up an APC advisory committee which will work with the zonal executives and other leaders of the party to ensure total victory for APC.
According to him, Tinubu would ensure inclusiveness, provide a lasting solution to the problems the country is faced with.
Kekemeke said that Tinubu’s antecedents speak for him and his actions have shown that if Nigerians adopt him as president, he would carry them along in his cabinet and governance.
He further stated that Tinubu had displayed uncommon leadership capacity and would steer the affairs of the country for the good of all.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has never been known to betray Yoruba. And I challenge anyone who can say that there is a record of him betraying the Yoruba race or nation and denying them of what is due to them.
“He is a Nigerian, he is a nationalist, Southwest Yoruba man and he has always been fighting on the side of his people for justice, fairness, progress and development. Incidentally, this is the character of a Yoruba person in Nigeria politics.
“May I remind you that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu fought on the side of truth, rule of law and fairness during the June 12.
He was there with MKO Abiola through thick and thin. He joined, sponsored and worked with NADECO all through, leading to his exile.
What more evidence?!
All what the people can accuse Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu about is that he believes the Yorubas can thrive exceedingly well in a Nigeria nation where there is justice, fairness and equity”, he said.
