‘‘The group was initiated to drive Tinubu’s presidential ambition in the next general elections. We will go across the country to mobilise support for Tinubu to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
‘‘Tinubu is eminently qualified for the presidential position, Tinubu is a bridge-builder across regional, ethnic and religious lines that is capable of uniting the country.
‘‘Tinubu has worked so hard for the APC, he is not new to global politics and will certainly apply his extensive networks to project Nigeria’s image as well as boost the economy of this nation.
‘‘We have identified Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a patriot in words, in action, and indeed, a leading light among the people. He is a detribalised Nigerian with a national outlook, an accomplished politician, and a seasoned administrator.
‘‘I, as the national president of this group, alongside my members would mobile thousands of youths to the streets to call on Tinubu to contest the 2023 presidential elections.”
