What We Did To Make President Tinubu Begin To Consider Presidential Run In 2007-Osoba
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu began considering a presidential run in 2007 after spending 8 years as governor of Lagos State and this was at the instance of the Southwest leaders, former governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, has disclosed.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Chief Segun Osoba , who made this disclosure during the All Progressives Congress South West Zone Assembly meeting held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos, during the weekend, also urged Nigerians to support the President Bola Tinubu administration.
‘Bola didn’t make himself the President of Nigeria; we did.
Seventeen years ago, in 2007, after his tenure as the governor of Lagos State, we gathered at a luncheon organized by Alhaji Hamza, our leader in the South West at that time. It was at that meeting we collectively decided that Bola should move from Lagos politics to the national stage, to represent the interests of the Yoruba people at the topmost level of Nigerian politics.
Many of us here today worked tirelessly to support the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s quest for the presidency, but he wasn’t allowed to get there.
Similarly, we rallied behind the late MKO Abiola’s presidential ambition, but we lost him, and with him, the opportunity. They killed many of us because of our mission to make this country better. But we thank God that some of us are still alive to witness Bola Tinubu’s success’ he submitted while emphasizing the need for Southwest people to support the current administration in the country and asserting that Tinubu will earn a re-election in 2027.
‘Now that Bola Tinubu is there, I want to plead with all of you to accept his shortcomings. He will do better. After his first four-year term, he will serve another four years as a Yoruba son’ he said.
‘The Southwest Assembly’s message is clear – the Yoruba leadership stands united behind Tinubu’s presidency and remains confident in his ability to deliver on his promises during his tenure’ the former governor added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
