Group urges Nigerians to reciprocate Tinubu’s struggle for democracy

A support group for the actualisation of presidential bid of National Leader of Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Bola Tinubu, under the aegis Tinubu Vanguard, has tasked Nigerians to reciprocate Tinubu’s struggle for democracy.

The Chairman, Board of Trustees of Tinubu Vanguard, Malam Nasiru Daura, said this on Wednesday in Abuja, at the group’s national conference tagged “Payback Time for Asiwaju.”

“The reason for this event is to express our love and support for Tinubu, a man who struggled and fought for democracy at a time when others were organising matches in support of military regimes.

“Today, we are all enjoying the freedom that is associated with democracy. Tinubu, therefore, deserves a payback by way of support with our votes and our prayers,” he said.

The Director-General of Tinubu Vanguard, Dr. Benjamin Johnny, described Tinubu as a consummate democrat who joined forces with other progressive Nigerians to bring about democratic the present dispensation.

“Tinubu has done a lot for Nigeria and Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion,” he said.

He said that Tinubu was in the best position to consolidate on the foundation and legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The present leadership under President Muhammadu Buhari is laying foundation for a new Nigeria with various projects in infrastructure and human capital development.

“Tinubu played a major role in the electoral success of Buhari, and he has consistently demonstrated support to the government. He is, therefore, best positioned to continue his legacies,” he said.
