Tinubu’s capable of leading Nigeria — South-West govs

"Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, who was also in Lagos, was absent from the Bourdillon's visit"

Chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum and Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu(SAN), has said that former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is capable of leading Nigeria.

Akeredolu added that Tinubu is doing his best as leader of the South-West.

Akeredolu spoke on behalf of his colleagues during a visit to Tinubu’s residence at Bordillion in Ikoyi, Lagos State, on Tuesday.

He said the governors in the region believe in the leadership of the former Lagos State governor.

Akeredolu, who led his colleagues to the meeting, noted that Tinubu is not just the leader of the South-West but also the only national leader of the APC in the country.

Fayemi absent
However, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, who was also in Lagos and attended earlier events, was conspicuously absent from the Bourdillon’s visit.

Akeredolu explained that they decided to pay the APC National Leader a visit after the South-West Governors’ Forum meeting, which took place earlier in Lagos.

Speaking with newsmen after the visit, he said: “We held the Southwest Governors’ Forum meeting.

“After the meeting, we deemed it fit to come over and visit our leader who has returned home successfully and who is hale and hearty.

“We have come to show our love for him and thank God on his behalf.

“He has been receiving visitors here. This place has turned into Mecca. We are here as part of the pilgrims.

“The National Leader of APC remains one. Most of us in the Southwest believe in his leadership and it shows that he’s doing his best to lead us.

“He is not only the leader of the Southwest but also the National leader of the APC in Nigeria.

“But we in the Southwest first lay claim to him as our leader,” Governor Akeredolu said.

Really? As in really really?
Well... I'm not surprised. I just pray that the crude oil Nigerian tribes are keen on stealing for their tribesmen would exhaust quickly. I just wish all the natural resourced that have made Africans more greedy than even the whiteman would somehow become useless let me see what next.

Jonathan and Zulum 2023!

Dsalvo:


Jonathan, a former PDP President that APC made sure to demarket as inept and needing to be voted out so Nigeria can be saved, will never ever fly the APC ticket.

Nigeria is a Country where anything can happen but not that sort of thing that would make us a laughing stock universally. APC cannot ever use Jonathan.

That has now become clear to the desperate Northern Hawks who were initially courting his stooge service.

Power is coming back to the North after four years.

LegendHero:
We need explanation to why Fayemi was absent even when Makinde deputy deem it fit to be present as an opposition party.

If Fayemi is proving smart, I think it’s time Asiwaju caucus bring in Fayose and some loyal APC guys up in Ekiti to show Fayemi that he is nothing. All hands must be on deck.

But I am sure he might have a good excuse for being absent which wasn’t revealed to the press.

Shame on them ! For li

Why? Are they not entitled to support BAT? They are coming out in support of who they believe in.

I am sure your leaders are free to to do similar for Orji Kalu or Peter Obi. Maybe even Atiku if he is their choice.

I hope you know that I am not using your data shall

I am sure more will be revealed later. Suffice to say Fayemi was interested in running in 2023 but powerful Yorubas, at all levels, have shown him and others they are not entertaining anyone but Tinubu.

I personally think Fayemi is walking the lonely walk of shame borne of the guilty conscience someone overwhelmingly condemned a traitor would do. He can't really go near the Tinubu project too passionately because many know what he tried to do to frustrate it. He has to stay away.

Many Yoruba are not smiling with him because he allowed himself to be used by those who wanted him to divide the SW so that they profit from that division when it is important the Yorubas must be 100% and indivisibly united behind our strongest candidate.

My opinion and I may be wrong.

I agree with you and that is why I believe Tinubu gets judged harshly by those who are guilty of tribal politics.

They don't care to look at his history in the private and public sector, his actual achievement and evidence of solution provision plus his impressive administrative/political legacy so far.

Yet, those are precisely what should matter to a sophisticated electorate.

Wiseandtrue:
Shame on them! For leaving an achiever like Fashola for Bobo Chicago alias the modern father of all touts!

Make him a president and watch him institutionalize thuggery at the federal level!

More hardship for the masses!

Una no dey shame!

Joysticks:
Tinubu that used Lagos state funds to sponsor Buhari's presidential ambition.Now that Buhari has destroyed Nigeria and use the citizens as collateral to collect loan and plunge the nation into a debt crisis, inflation,and incompetency,he is now preparing to handover Nigeria to tinubu to further plunge Nigeria into another liquidation.This politicians are passing Nigeria around to themselves to loot and collect world bank loan and loot the treasury.
Somebody should tell me what leadership quality does tinubu have?A 2 term former governor that created debt for the state before he left alausa government house.Even his political godchildren have corruption cases hanging on their necks.Meanwhile, the jagaban is using his Abuja connection to block their arrest and prosecution.
I know he has a lot of asslickers who are ready to die for his one derica of rice.

adekolaelect:
Yes!I be tinubu's thug.Na me dey snatch ballot boxes.

adekolaelect:
Humm pity yourself first !!!! Who ask you this theories.we all know 2023 is approaching and some one must become president and everybody is free to pit his or her tent where interested .Face your own promote it .Don't come here to condemn one for others.

na like this e take start, wey una package Mr change give us, na only una dey suffer am

At that time all the electoral promises Tinubu promise say him party go keep, which one was kept

So I guess you are the only one now paying multiple taxes

ABI na only you dey buy garri, rice, yam, beans, spaghetti, macaroni, gas, petrol for market now

Come, be careful!

SlyDev:
The only people against Tinubu are hiebows, he is not Igbo, never ruled any igbo state, never wife igbo. I come wonder why the hate?

Then i ask myself, why will a grown up man be angry at another man for what his father have failed to do to him?

sapientia:
Same way Tinubu said Buhari was capable
