“Tinubu believes that no matter where you come from, or what you look like, we are all born equal, touched by the Grace of God. He believes every person has worth , every person matters and every person deserves to be treated with decency and respect. This is evident in his unmatched leadership approach and records of human development in lagos state and across Nigeria including the current administration. I want to believe that DIGNITY was seen as a virtue reserved  for leaders of his kind and It will take a revolution of the spirit , over many centuries , to open our eyes again to the DIGNITY of such leaders like him in the present day nigeria, so we are glad to have him.

“At this juncture, distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

I want to say here that Nigeria’s future and progress can be seen in the man that brings us together today.

*Nigeria don’t need strong men, we need strong institutions” he added

According to the group, Tinubu has done more than enough to prove to all doubt­ing Thomas’s that he pos­sesses all that it takes to be a performing President.

” We wish to state in unequivocal terms that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu indeed is what the country needs in this critical point of our existence.

“We have also carefully studied his numerous con­tributions to democratic ideals in the country right from the era of military rule in Nigeria and indeed found it worthy as that presidential material with the proper fo­cus, capacity, and sagacity to lead this country come 2023.

“Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not new to us as his trademarks are replete in various sectors of our nation­al life and paramount in the sustenance of our nascent de­mocracy. He is a bridge-build­er and a talent hunter, as evi­dent during his tenure as the Executive Governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007.

“It is sufficient to mention that Lagos state experienced phenomenal growth and de­velopment under his astute leadership. It is also on re­cord that he also identified and brought into reckoning some individuals who went ahead to become resourceful in their contributions to the country’s socio-economic de­velopment at large.

“The Middle Belt region owes Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu a great deal of grat­itude. It is on record that he was instrumental to many gains recorded in the re­gion through his network of friends of like minds that consequently embraced his progressive leadership style of governance ” he said
