Northern Youth Leaders Forum (NYLF) in Ogun State has appealed to former President Olusegun Obasanjo to support President Bola Tinubu in his determination to reposition the country.
The Forum, comprising 42 affiliate northern organisations, said it initially opposed Tinubu’s presidential ambition ‘but his bold decisions in the last one month attested to his capability and signs of better days ahead for Nigerians’.
National President of NYLF, Com. Elliot Afiyo, made the appeal in Abeokuta yesterday. He said the group had formally written to Obasanjo, appealing to him to support Tinubu and his administration. He added that the group was looking forward to visit the elder statesman

Afiyo also called on traditional and religious leaders to support Tinubu and his administration to succeed.
He added: “We have observed and experienced the emergence of President Tinubu as a divine intervention by God to free and empower His children, and also lay a true foundation based on patriotism for the overall development of Nigeria.
“From his winning the party primary, to campaigns and subsequent election, and to his inauguration, you will agree with us that it was the finger of God in action. This is why we are looking forward to a day to meet and deliberate with the foremost Father and respected leader, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, to appeal to him to support President Bola Tinubu, at least to liberate the country.”
