There are many political parties that are willing to hand over their presidential tickets to former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu on platter of gold should the All Progressive Congress deny him the opportunity to run on its platform.
This was the disclosure on Tuesday in Abuja by a group, North Central Agenda for Tinubu, which said it has about 200 smaller groups under its control.
The group said it has assessed the electoral worth of the presidential aspirant and come to conclusion he should be the next president.
The President of the NCAT, John Ali Oriri, said in a communiqué, “The support groups will identify and prepare five alternate political parties that would give Tinubu automatic ticket as their presidential flagbearer if the APC fails to do the needful.
“Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu has declared his intention to contest the 2023 Presidential on the platform of the APC, other aspirants within the APC and other political parties have also indicated interest in the same position.
“Asiwaju Tinubu has embarked on a nationwide consultation with various stakeholders and interest groups during which he has continued to unveil his vision for placing Nigeria on the path to economic sustainability and assert the country’s pivotal place in world affairs.
“The former governor of Lagos state has proven that he is a great manager of resources, especially human resources, as he has mentored and groomed political leaders that have positively impacted Nigeria through the posts they have held or still holding.
“He has proven to be economically sound to get solutions to the challenges facing Nigeria.”
Tinubu is one of those jostling to clinch the ticket of the APC ahead of the 2023 presidential poll.
