2023: Tinubu in Same League as Awolowo, Azikiwe, Bello, Says Akeredolu

By Babalola Seyi

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has compared APC presidential contender Bola Tinubu to Nigeria’s founding fathers.

The Ondo governor drew the analogy on Tuesday during the presentation of a book about the former Lagos governor.

Tinubu was included with the late Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, and Ahmadu Bello, among others, in the book.

Akeredolu, represented by deputy Lucky Aiyedatiwa, described the APC co-founder as the best presidential candidate.

The governor noted that the party was blessed to have a courageous leader who remains an inspiration to many people.

“Tinubu has similar attributes with the late Obafemi Awolowo and other founding fathers which the book has done justice to.

“Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has continued to inspire other people, both old, young and the corporate environment,” Akeredolu said.

The author, Omofunmilewa Adejombo said Tinubu’s efforts in ensuring that true democracy is enthroned in Nigeria were highlighted.
