Vanguard quoted him as saying:

“No one is as qualified as Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu who remains a visionary leader and a great achiever. Only a misled son of Yoruba would not support this cause.

“Who else has that capacity to run for 2023 poll in Southwest. we should all push him to be greater than Awolowo so that his legacy could go on.”

Meanwhile, members of the Southwest Agenda for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (SWAGA) have prevailed on an elder statesman, Chief Bisi Akande to compel Tinubu to contest for the 2023 presidential election.

The group made the demand when they paid the APC chieftain a visit at Ila, Osun state, to felicitate with him on his 82nd birthday.

In a related development, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has declared that it has no problem with power returning to the southern region.

ACF’s national publicity secretary, Emmanuel Yawe, made the position of the forum known, saying the north is ready to support southerners succeed President Buhari.
