Shettima said Nigeria is currently in dire need of a leader with a noble character and Tinubu who has served as a former governor of Lagos state fits that description.
He said:
“His story has been told over and again. Martin Luther said the true measure of a man is when he stands in discomfort. Many can tell of how Tinubu served his country even in exile.
We have a leader in Tinubu, one who is known for his nobility, he is proven. He is not one tied to tribal sentiments, he has a propensity for sacrificing his comfort to protect our democracy. He is a true patriot.”
Also, a live video shared on Facebook by the Tinubu Support group showed a former member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, speaking at the event.
Jibrin said the event is a gathering of 2,500 delegates nominated by various support groups of Bola Tinubu.
He said the groups that have been merged into one would continue to support the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Jibrin said:
“That said, we continue to support President Muhammadu Buhari and his leadership.”
