“Our mission is to support, encourage and promote visionary, patriotic, credible, and competent leadership with manifest capacity, a leader(ship) that is on a mission, with a sense of urgency, capable of making a difference in quality service delivery and in good governance. 
“Our main objective as a group, therefore, is the mobilisation of visible additional support/followership and a formidable and popular grassroots support base for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 
“Tinubu is a bridge-builder across regional, ethnic and religious lines that is capable of uniting the country. We have identified him as an exceptional manager of resources and a seasoned administrator and we are convinced that the nation needs him in the next dispensation.
“We have no doubt that he has the capacity and the political will to institute a new concept of governance and a new agenda of sustainable development, to provide effective leadership, capable of providing solutions to the numerous challenges confronting the nation.

“It is on this note and given the above narratives, that we, therefore, call on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to avail the nation of his enormous wealth of experience, outstanding and visionary leadership qualities, to contest the 2023 presidential election.”

On his part, Hon. James Faleke, member representing Ikeja Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, stated that to secure the votes of the majority in 2023, the APC must present a candidate THAT knows where the shoe pinches the average Nigerian.

He added:

“That man is Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Asiwaju of Lagos, Lagos state. The Jagaban of Borgu, Niger state. The Eze-Obaludike Egwu of Oko, Anambra state. He is already our national leader.
“By the practice and standards in other climes, when the issue of raising a presidential candidate is on the front-burner, such a personality should be given the right of first refusal. 
“We are putting forward this gift of God to humanity, a man generously gifted in intellect, political sagacity, and application of ideas to solving the challenges of governance.
