National Leader ‘a mere nickname’, Tinubu should be APC BoT chair – South-West youths National Leader ‘a mere nickname’, Tinubu should be APC BoT chair – South-West youths

The South-West Progressive Youths and People’s Movement, has called on concerned stakeholders to make a former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu chairman of the All Progressives Congress’ Board of Trustees (BoT).

The group said the name ‘APC National Leader’ is “a mere title or nickname,” being conferred on Tinubu and does not have any office in the party.

They also lamented that Asiwaju Tinubu had not been treated well by the ruling party despite his contribution in bringing the current administration into power.

According to the National coordinator of the group, Comrade Ajayi Taiwo, they were unhappy with the way, which Tinubu, “our last man standing and a ‘chancellor of university of politics’ in Nigeria has been treated.”

He said. “The present administration will be two years in office in less than one and half months, and up till date, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who humbly sacrificed his political ambition and put all necessary machinery in motion is still addressed as national leader.”

The group also said that in the spirit of fair play and federal character, the BOT chairman should come from the South West and that Tinubu was the right heir.
