ONITSHA, Anambra – A group known as South East for Tinubu (SET), has said that the former governor of Lagos State, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, would enjoy massive support in the South East and South South during the 2023 presidential election.
The convener of the group, Engr Nwosu Emmanuel, said that SET is already mobilizing massively for Tinubu’s presidential election come 2023, through public enlightenments and persuasions to ensure that he wins the hearts of the south east and south south voters.
“In the Southeast and South South, Tinubu will get much more votes in the 2023 presidential election than any other candidate that has contested in the recent time. This is because, he has paid his dues in politics of this great nation, Nigeria.
“There is no politician in this country that has recorded a feat that Tinubu recorded in politics. He is a builder of men and resources. In Lagos, he laid a master plan, midwifed and engineered it, and Lagos becomes what it is today.
“Tinubu is the only politician in Nigeria that has mentored the highest number of politicians; strategically pooling them, and placing them in strategic positions; and giving them wings to fly. He kept helping others to become what they wanted to become; while his contemporaries were busy contesting for position of president times without number. This is the kind of leader that will build Nigeria and its people.
“APC has zoned presidency to the south. As we speak, there is a seemingly bad blood between the southeast and other regions in the country. For that reason, it will be foolhardy for any south easterner to think that an average northerner will support or vote southeast candidate in 2023.
“An average northerner still believes that a south easterner hates him. He still looks at an average south easterner with suspicion, especially because of the agitation for secession.
“The southeast, as a matter of right and necessity, should be given the opportunity to produce the country’s president in 2023. Unfortunately, political calculation is not automatic. As it stands, southeast has not got solid handshake with others that will help it produce president.
“Therefore, it is our candid belief that Tinubu is the most qualified for 2023 presidency. Northerners are already mobilising for him. If the southeast also gives its own support, they shall have succeeded in building good alliance, friendship and bonding that will make others accept and support southeast candidate in the next opportunity.
“Instead of agitations, the southeast should start now to negotiate, build friendship and alliances in order to grab future opportunities,” he said.
