The Ondo State Network for Tinubu, a group formed in favour of a 2023 Bola Tinubu presidency, has maintained that the National leader of the APC should get the 2023 presidential ticket of the party.  

Citing Tinubu’s sacrifices for both the APC party and Nigeria as a good reason why he, and no other at this time, is rightly deserving of the ticket.

The convener of the group, Mr Femi Adekanmbi, who is also a former commisioner in the state at the inauguration of the group on Monday in Akure, explained that the group’s current count is in excess of one thousand members and delegates from each of the eighteen local government areas of Ondo State, and they are all ready to give their full support for Tinubu’s presidential ambition.

Referring to Tinubu as the best candidate for the 2023 presidency, Adekanmbi said “There is no better candidate in the southwest to contest the ticket with the APC National Leader.”

“Today (Monday) marks the revolutionary movement for Tinubu who is a benefactor to many. He is a man I know too well. He has assisted most politicians today and that is why we are rooting for him.

“For us, this is the time to pay Tinubu back for what he has done for us as far as Ondo State and South-West is concerned. We have our people at the various local government areas and in each of the wards. In each local government, our members and delegates who are rooting for Bola Ahmed Tinubu are up to 1,000.

“As a matter of fact, he is the best candidate for this job. We are all here to ensure that he wins hundred per cent in Ondo State, and not only in Ondo, but across the nation. He is the one that will take Nigeria to the greater height. He has what it takes to do this job.”
In his remarks, the Director-General of the group, Barrister Tolu Babaleye stated that the purpose for the inauguration of the group was to mobilise aggressively, across Ondo state, for Tinubu’s ambition. He added that the state will be won for the APC national leader.

He said, “When you look at the antecedent of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it is the right time for APC to pay him. Nigeria and APC are what they are today courtesy of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. When the man was working day and night, spending his resources to the detriment of his family and business, the people who are aspiring today looked away.”

In conclusion, he said  “As far as we are concerned now, we are sealing the state for Bola Ahmed Tinubu in all the wards. If you call it a delegate election we are giving Bola Ahmed Tinubu 100 percent by God’s grace. If you call it direct primary, we are giving him hundred percent.”
