Over 200 youths in Jos, the Plateau State capital, held a solidarity rally in support of the presidential bid of the All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
They said he should be the consensus candidate of the party in the 2023 general elections.
The group, under the aegis of Tinubu Middle Belt Vanguard (TMBV), walked through streets in their hundreds and terminated at the state APC secretariat to register their support. They called for the APC in Plateau State to rally their support for the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In his address at the party’s secretariat, the convener of the Tinubu Middle Belt Vanguard Solomon Ndam urged the Plateau people to rally their support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the person to solve the myriads of challenges and take the country to greater heights.
Ndam said: “As critical stakeholders, we are duty-bound to lend our voices to the great movement about to take the whole country by storm. The APC in Plateau State is in tune with the country’s mood about the presidential aspiration of the untiring Asiwaju Tinubu.
He said: “We have seen the good, the bad and the ugly sides of the country’s development. The coming on board of Asiwaju Tinubu is a good omen for our great country because of his numerous contributions to the sustenance of our democracy over the decades.
“The presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Tinubu presents us with great opportunities to turn the fortunes of the country around for good, owing to his leadership style that speaks volumes of an unalloyed commitment to sustainable growth and development. As such, it will be an error of judgment if the APC in Plateau State does not rally support for the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Tinubu.
“The name Asiwaju Tinubu is a household one in Plateau State because of the tremendous love and respect he has demonstrated for Plateau people over the years.
“It is instructive to note that Asiwaju Tinubu has consistently displayed love and affection to the Plateau people in ways too numerous to mention.”
“We wish to reiterate that Asiwaju Tinubu is a Plateau man. Therefore, our support for him remains unflinching. We can feel your excitement, and we are convinced that Asiwaju Tinubu shall emerge as a consensus candidate of the APC in the 2023 presidential election.
“After many considerations, we have concluded that the APC in Plateau State must unite in adopting Asiwaju Tinubu as the party’s consensus candidate for the 2023 presidential election.”
Ndam noted that “the Plateau State APC support group wishes to sound the trumpet of Asiwaju Tinubu to all the nook and cranny of Plateau State as a consensus candidate of the APC in the 2023 presidential election.
He said they strongly believed that if Asiwaju Tinubu emerged as the consensus candidate of the APC, the party is guaranteed a resounding electoral victory in the presidential election.
