A group, Tinubu Support Groups (TSG), has picked the presidential expression of interest and nomination forms for National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The group also picked the form for Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is seeking a second term in office.
Led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babashir Lawal and House of Representatives member Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, the group said it was a pleasure to obtain the forms for Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu.
Speaking with newsmen after picking the forms, Lawal said Tinubu was more prepared for the assignment than any of the other aspirants.
He said: “Nigeria under Tinubu will be better off economically.”
Lawal noted that Tinubu remains the brand to beat at the party primary and in the 2023 general elections.
The former SGF described Tinubu as a branded product, saying every Nigerian knows that he is the man to beat.
On Tinubu’s chances, Lawal said: “If we were not sure we have chances to win this election, we would not waste our N100 million. Everybody is free to buy the forms if he has N100 million. The choice is his own. He has the money.
“But as far as we are concerned we are only fulfilling the constitutional requirement of campaigning and going for elections. We don’t foresee any opposition in the contest.”
He also dismissed tbe growing number of presidential aspirants.
The former SGF said: “We are not worried in our camp, I am not worried as a person.”
Faleke said: “Asiwaju at the appropriate time will deliver his address to us but I know that this country under Tinubu will be better off, the economy will be better off because he is an economist, he is not a lawyer, he is an economist.
“He will deal with the economic situation of this country. He did it in Lagos and the security challenges in Lagos were solved by him, he will solve the same security challenges.
“He is a man who rewards loyalty, who ensures that people who work are also taken care of.
” He will ensure that employment opportunities are better off, the issue of strikes will be a thing of the past. Civil service was done in Lagos, he will do it again in Nigeria and so on.”
