Only Tinubu Can Win Presidency For South – Jonathan Group

A support group loyal to former president Goodluck Jonathan has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, is the only flagbearer that can win the presidency for the South.

The group, Citizens Network For Peace and Development in Nigeria (CNPDN), made this known ina statement on Wednesday issued by its National Secretary, Francis Okereke Wainwei.

According to the group, the former Governor of Lagos State is the president that Nigeria needs at this time and the only candidate that could unify the country.

It said its decision to back Tinubu for the presidency is based on his wealth of political experience, intellectual sagacity, a knack for identifying and recruiting competent people for the accelerated and holistic development of the country.

The statement reads: “Power shift to southern Nigeria is the consensus of the majority of Nigerians, who believe in the future of this country because they believe that it is the best means of strengthening our national unity and cohesion.

“Our choice of Bola Tinubu is strongly premised on his wealth of political experience, intellectual sagacity, a knack for identifying and recruiting competent people, and the capacity to mobilize human and material resources for the accelerated and holistic development of the country.

“We strongly believe that the next president of this country should be someone who firmly believes in the philosophy of ‘building the people, to build the nation’, he should be a people-oriented president.

“Tinubu fits perfectly for the kind of president Nigeria needs in the next dispensation. He has the capacity and the wealth of political experience to replicate the success story of Lagos State engineered by him, for both the economic and political stability of this country.

“He is a national patriot and a detribalized leader that has the visionary mindset to build a prosperous, strong, peaceful, and united Nigeria.”
