The Tinubu/Shettima Grassroots Independent Campaign Council has described Sen. Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress( APC), as a faithful and refined politician that will not renege on his promises if elected as president.
Mr Akinsehinwa Awodeyi, the National Deputy Coordinator of the Council (South), said this in Akure during the official inauguration of the council.
Awodeyi stated that anyone that encountered Tinubu could testify that the presidential candidate is a rewarding institution and not just a mere personality.
He said that Tinubu is a politician that the country could be entrusted in his hands.
Awodeyi, who is popularly called Apata, explained that the APC presidential candidate is actually a human builder capable of building a nation if given a chance as a president.
He added that numerous Nigerians had benefited from Tinubu’s largesse and large heart of kindness
Awodeyi asked people of Ondo State to vehemently support Tinubu and cast their votes for him on Feb. 25 so that they would not be left behind in the scheme of things.
According to him, the forthcoming election is a must win for the party, asking the council to mobilise voters from all nooks and crannies of the state for Tinubu.
The national deputy coordinator asked the council to work with other stakeholders and carry them along towards Tinubu’s victory in the election.
Awodeyi said that the council was not a support group but it was given a mandate to do house-to-house campaign.
“We are not a support group. Support groups are to work under us. After the presidential campaign council, we have the Independent Campaign Council (ICC).
“It is PCC that does rallies but we are to do house-to-house and door-to-door campaign. We take over after PCC’s jobs.
“We are to go into the nooks and crannies of the state and tell them that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the one that can do the job this time. And that come Feb. 25, we have a victory for Asiwaju, at least 80 per cent victory.
“He has done well for Ondo State and we must reciprocate by making sure that he wins this election,” he said.
Also speaking, the newly-inaugurated state Coordinator of the Campaign Council, Mr Tayo Oluwatuyi, said that the council had the mandate of informing electorates across the state of capabilities and abilities of Tinubu and his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima.
Oluwatuyi stated that the duo would deliver good governance to Nigerians across board.
According to him, Tinubu stands out among the four leading front runners for the presidential race.
Dr Abiola Oshodi, the state Director of Media of the Council, said that the grassroots campaign council would also infiltrate groups of Nigerians that were apathetic to vote and educate them on candidature of Tinubu.
Oshodi, who was represented by Mr Abiola Obanoyen, stated that the council would not rely only in the party’s strength but access other Nigerians that were not partisan but with very strong voting capabilities.
He said that the council would domicile and domesticate the mandate of the renewed agenda of the presidential candidate for Nigerians.
He said that Tinubu understood Nigerian politics and that of the rest of the world and bring to reality a rebuilding Nigeria of everyone’s desire.
According to him, Tinubu will also drive new agenda for the benefits of all and sundry in the country.
Pastor Femi Bakare, a member of the Council, said that Tinubu had the capacity and knowledge to transform the country.
He added that Tinubu was vast in developmental economy, saying changes would come if elected as president of Nigeria.
According to him, the APC presidential candidate is reliable and dependable to transform the country for better as promised. (NAN)
