A political pressure group, ‘Southwest Agenda for Tinubu 2023 presidential ambition (SWAGA), has held a rally to sensitise people of Ondo State on the need to vote en masse for candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s next President.
Addressing the people and electorate of Ondo State on Wednesday in Akure, the National Chairman of SWAGA and former Minister of Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye said the group came out to let the people know that Tinubu is the best candidate in the coming election.
Adeyeye admonished the people of the state to go for the best, so that Nigeria could be a better place in future.
While the National Secretary of the group and former Commissioner for Information and Orientation in Oyo State, Hon. Bosun Oladele said what the group did was a solidarity rally to let everyone has a sense of belonging that Tinubu is their own, hence the need to give their maximum support.
According to Oladele, no candidate has the capability that Tinubu has in terms of human and infrastructural development.
Oladele, who posited that he, Tinubu is a good brand, said the SWAGA has visited traditional rulers in the Southwest also to let them know that this is their agenda.
He, however, said that those that did not believe in the agenda has started doing so. He said, “we are going to campaign till we win this coming election.
“Winning the general election, we must give sizeable attention to the entire populate with a lot of concentration on the youths and women. That was why we have Youths Solidarity Walk for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and we have learned people among ourselves and non of us leading this campaign is a candidate in any election.
“We choose Ondo State for the commencement of this campaign in order to refresh our strategy and to let everybody have sense of belonging and of course Ondo State is one of our home state so if not Ondo State why not,” Oladele said.
Another Chieftain of the party, Oyetunde Ojo, who also spoke at the rally said, “the essence of this walk is to sensitise and encourage the good people of Ondo State for the commencement of the campaign, telling the people to vote for their own son, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Tinubu as we all know is not a stranger in this country, and we have to believe in his ambition, he is a father, responsible and a straight forward person who can move this country forward.
“So, we are telling the good people of Akure, Ondo State, to vote for their son, Tinubu, he will take this nation to a greater height. The SWAGA is going from ward to ward to campaign for Tinubu because it is our turn in the Southwest and that is why we are appealing to our youths and women to give Tinubu a trial.”
