Inusa, who described Tinubu as a highly experienced leader with the required political tact to take over from where President Muhammadu Buhari, explained that the movement was formed to support the former Lagos state governor ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
He said, “Tinubu is a leader who transforms nothing into something and feeds his people from the riches of what has been so transformed.
“In his time as Lagos state governor, staff salaries, developmental projects, philanthropic activities never stopped.
“Now, think about the bigger picture here.
“If he did that in Lagos and we never heard Lagos state going into recession at the time, what if he had the whole country struggling to manage her abundant resources?
“Let us ponder upon that.
“That is the man of calibre and pedigree, a charismatic and selfless leader we pray to canvass support to pilot the affairs of this nation and take it to the promised land,” he added.
Tinubu, from Southwest Nigeri, is said to be warming up to contest the number one seat in the country on the platform of the ruling APC.
The ruling APC according to sources, is contemplating zoning the position of the president to the Southern part of the country after a two-term tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is from Katsina State in the Northern part of Nigeria.
