Fayose, Oni, Southwest leaders working for Tinubu’s victory – SWAGA
he Convener of Southwest Agenda for Asiwaju,(SWAGA) Oyetunde Ojo has said former Governors Ayodele Fayose, Segun Oni and some political heavyweights in the Southwest are frantically working for the All Progressives Congress(APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Ojo spoke on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital during a strategic meeting with SWAGA members across the 16 local government areas of Ekiti State.
Ojo, who refused to mention names of the heavyweights besides Fayose and Oni, said the leaders across political parties would openly identify with and declare support for Tinubu in the coming days.
He said southwest leaders irrespective of party affiliation are unanimous on the presidential election as they have been working assiduously behind the scene to ensure the APC presidential flag bearer emerge victorious in the February 25 general election.
Ojo noted that Fayose and Oni have not hidden their untiring love and preference for Tinubu, adding that his acceptability across political platforms was a product of age-long camaraderie, networking and bridge-building.
He added that leaders of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, Labour Party, and Social Democratic Party across the six geo-political zones have approached SWAGA’s leadership to express their willingness to work for the emergence of Tinubu.
“To be honest, Asiwaju Tinubu will win the coming election. This is a man that is loved by the masses, traders, market women as well as traditional rulers. He is equally well-received by opposition parties.
“Let me take former governor Ayodele Fayose for example. He is in the PDP but he has been saying he wants Tinubu as president. And I can even tell you that Asiwaju Segun Oni is in SDP but deep in his mind can’t vote against Tinubu.
“It’s not anti-party. It’s a personal issue and relationship they have with Tinubu. Governor Fayose has been saying it even though governor Oni is a bit quiet about it but I know in his mind he can’t work against Tinubu,” Ojo added.
The SWAGA National Coordinator, Prince Dayo Adeyeye stated he was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Tinubu would win the election at the first ballot with the massive support of the masses who were desperately yearning for a new lease of life.
He said that Nigerians are determined to vote for Tinubu despite the artificial scarcity of fuel and the new naira notes, noting that they understood the twin problems were intentionally created by fifth columnists in the presidency to prevent the former Lagos governor’s electoral victory.
Adeyeye added that the cabals would be disappointed with the results of the election as the absolute majority of Nigerians are not distracted in their strong steadfastness to install Tinubu as the next president for a better and prosperous Nigeria.
