…Says It’s Morale Booster
A pro-Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for President group, the National Independent Campaign Organization for Tinubu, NICOT, has hailed the involvement of the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, in the campaign council set up for the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Describing the development as a morale booster.
Chief Campaigner of the group, Comrade Razaq Olokoba, in a statement Friday said, Fashola, the actualizer son of Asiwaju Tinubu, would no doubt add more values to the campaign for his political father, asking rhetorically, “Who’s supposed to know the father more that his son?”
Olokoba averred that achievements of Fashola in Lagos when he succeeded Tinubu as governor is very much in the sub-consciousness of the people, who are yearning for more of it at the national level, believing that “with his former boss promoted to the national level, replication of the foundation Tinubu laid, which Fashola built upon, would be the order of the day and the citizenry would be better for it.”
The mere presence of Fashola among other eminent members of the campaign council is a clear statement that Tinubu, the builder of the youth and hunter of talents for nation building, is out again to do what he knows best to do to move the country more forward from where President Muhammadu Buhari would leave it on May 29, this year, commending those behind Fashola’s inclusion in that team because the step is a winning strategy.
Olokoba, who is a Chartered Public Administrator, CPA, and member, Nigeria Institute of Management, MNIM, and a security consultant, is also the Convener and National President of the Campaign for Dignity in Governance, CDG, though is never in doubt that Fashola would be in the forefront of the campaign for his predecessor’s aspiration, he however just expressed overjoy seeing a former performing governor propping up his former equally performing boss for a greater post for the better future for the generality of Nigerians.
Olokoba urged Nigerians to put sentiment aside, insisting that “among the lot gunning for the Presidency of the country, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands shoulder higher than the rest in terms of experience, in preparation for the job and in understanding the political dynamics of the country.”
He further reasoned that “the best man for the job now in Nigeria is Fashola’s former boss, Asiwaju Tinubu.”
The Kwara State-born security consultant further observed that the situation in Nigeria today could be likened to the proverbial head of an elephant, which he said is beyond the load a toddler could attempt to carry, saying, “Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, appears the most eminently qualified to shoulder the country’s responsibility for now and should be supported with votes next week Saturday, February 25, for the greater interests of the generality of the citizenry.”
