Tinubu’s 2023 Presidential Ambition: Lies Being Told About Me — Bayo Onanuga

I am fully in support of Bola Tinubu. I am not in PYO’s camp and will not be in his camp if Tinubu is running.

People who know me will attest to the fact that I am ever loyal to my friends, loyal to a political cause. I have been on the political left since 1978’when I joined Awolowo’s UPN as a UNILAG student.

I am not a renegade. And I can vouch for Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi and Dele Alake as well.

The author of the rumour was merely writing conjectures on an issue that is unpredictable, a party’s primary election, where an outsider will only Labour in vain in making permutations.

As far as I am concerned, and let me say it loud and clear, I am in support of Bola Tinubu’s ambition. I am not against him. He is my first choice, the second choice and the third choice for the exalted seat.

Nigeria is in need of a visionary, a deep thinker, a man with the Midas touch, who can take our country on a journey of prosperity. This country has suffered enough and really needs a new leader who can breathe fresh air in it and change the way things are done.

Nigeria needs a man of ideas, who will not just talk his way, but really get things done.

I have no doubt that Bola Tinubu is capable of this, which is why I support his campaign to lead Nigeria.

I have known him since 1992. I was part of his governorship campaign in 1998 before others were invited to his government after we won the election in January 1999.

I was close to his government for eight years and I bore witness to the innovations he brought into governance, the overhauling of the system that he carried out, some of which other states and the Federal Government had copied.

I have no iota of doubt that he will replicate the same at the centre, and even do more, if given the opportunity.

These are the reasons I support his campaign. And Nigerians will hear more about my involvement in the next few days.
