The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Global Ambassadors (BATGA), a support group for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate of Sen. Bola Tinubu has recalled how he risked his life for Nigeria in the past.

Mr Kayode Olabode, National Coordinator (BATGA), disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.

Olabode said the former Lagos State governor “had been working and putting his life in harm’s way for cause tailored towards making Nigeria work.”

He said that it is time for the nation to reciprocate the gesture by supporting Tinibu to win presidential election in 2023.

“Even when he was in the United States, he was there for Late MKO Abiola during his presidential campaign.

“He was a major supporter of Afenifere and NADECO pro-Democrats and good governance against the military junta.

“He came back home to contribute immensely to make Nigeria great. Let’s use Lagos State as a case study.

“As an Executive Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu stood his ground and ensured that he created 37 LCDAs in addition to 20 LGAs making a total of 57 LGA.”

Olabode said that this created lot of employments for Lagos Youths both Indigenes and non-indigenes.

He added that even when the then President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo stopped Lagos State Allocation,he managed the state’s IGR prudently and ensured he didn’t owe any civil servants.

Olabode urged Nigerians in diaspora to see Tinubu as case study of a transformational leader and a political strategist.

He described his record as feats no governor in the country since return of democracy could match.

“Prosperity will not forgive any Nigerian who fails to support Tinubu. He’s like the messiah Nigerians have been clamouring for,” he said.

Olabode said the opportunity for Nigerians in Diaspora to drum up support for one of their own to get elected as president of Nigeria has come.

He said that this would make them to be part of his government that would make Nigeria work.

Olabode further added that citizens should be more concerned about a Nigeria that works rather than ethnic politics .

He appealed to those clamouring for secession to sheath thier swords , join hands to build the country by channelling their energy, time, and resources towards that direction.

“It is actually funny how some of these people protest in foreign lands and United Nations headquarters,sadly, even if they protest on the moon, their request will not be granted.

“Dividing the country will not make any part of the country a better nation whether Yoruba Nation or Biafra.

“What every Nigerian needs at this point is to have a reorientation and change of mindset towards our country.

“It is time to be more patriotic and work effortlessly towards building a Nigeria that works rather than tribalistic Yoruba and Biafra Nation.

“You can’t be living peacefully and comfortably wherever you are and be fuelling a crisis in your motherland.

“Nobody needs a soothsayer to know that dividing Nigeria at the moment is not the solution to the myriads of problems bedeviling the country,”he said

He said that there is no country without challenges,however, with collective effort of its citizenry some of the endless challenges could be amicably resolved.

He urged all support groups and citizens for Tinubu and Shettima not to be deterred by negative comments of othe groups both online or offline but concentrate on building a formidable team in wards to guarantee victory.

No doubt!

History will never forget his fight towards the actualization of democracy.

His doggedness and bravery was next to none.

His contribution, brilliance, with strategy, were key factors that ended the Military rule. His international relations with key nations at that point was outstanding, and that could put pressure on the Nigerian military regime.

Hate or Like, Tinubu is a Albert Einstein of politics!

Where him for fight?

Coward that ran away

he has gotten his reward in full since 1999 and till date cashing from Lagos coffers while lagosians keep chanting "Itesiwaju Ile Eko lo je wa logun".

The Man is Very Sound Politically

This Nigeria Turn by Turn has made the man old and a bit sick to help Nigeria in terms of all rounder development but still yet his brain is still working well to govern(My total support).

He had contributed immensely to the growth of Nigeria Politically

What I meant by Turn by Turn is that Nothern candidate 8yrz b4 another Southern candidate

Another candidate from the north is also preparing his mind to rule Nigeria after Southern candidate now

Only Death can change their calculations. Case Study late president YarAdua(blessed memory)

See, Nah Aged people go dey govern Nigeria. No hard feelings

Let me explain myself b4 Obi Urchins come
afta me. I'm a realist

Obi supporters are just crying online but the reality is in front of them to believe

No wonder none of them can bet $10k with Deji Adeyanju

Calm down. Just read your history books

The most qualified candidate for Presidency is tinubu. People are free to support Peter Obi but the truth is that he won't achieve anything.

Which Nigeria He better risk his druggie life to go take care of his health for the benefit of his grandchildren

Stop blackmailing Nigerians into supporting a crooked drug Baron who risked his life only for his own pocket

He risked his life in the streets of Chicago only to come back to place his knees on Lagos state finance through Alfa Beta and giving all his family members juicy Position from Iyaloja market to Bill Boards Mgt..

He risked his useless drug infested life to enthrone touts and miscreants all over the street of Lagos and Southwest

He risked his useless life to support a disaster poo'hari back to back.

Just imagine what the country have turned into after risking his drug infested life carrying bullion vans of money belonging to Nigerians, sharing 1kg of odourless fufu after stealing the destiny of Lagosians and other Nigerians...

Lies and propaganda will never help Tinubu in the coming election.

Tinubu an okultic thieff will never be nigerian president.
He had killed so many Northerners through opc and killed so many promising youth in lekki toll gate that are from SS/se and Yoruba Christians.

Is that the reason he brought buhari to finish off the country he risked his life for.

After seeing his first Tenure failure, your Hero Tinubu still supported Buhari for second Tenure.

How does someone like that care about Nigeria.

He also made it clear that he will continue from where the Failure Buhari stopped.

Tinubu is the best man for the job , his contribution to our democracy cannot be ignored . His bravery and intelligence is second to none .

Have you ever heard where a HERO from world poverty and unemployment capital bought houses worth almost N3bn for two children in a foreign land while allocating 10% of the peoples patrimony to himself?

What is your definition of HERO, i see no HERO, i only see a typical Nigerian politician who used a means in trend then to seek recognition while climbing to power.. if going by that context, we can call oshiomole a HERO for his work as Labour chairman when we all know where it ends today.

Tinubu is still the best for now

Tinubu is sick and old .. he would have been a southern hero if he had supported igbos since power was meant for south.
He’s past his time in national politics.

But like this

Power returns North.

Power to the people
Atiku/Okowa 2023

E sure

The life he is risking now is not for Nigeria. If he truly had the interest of Nigeria at heart, he would have spoken against this administration, and also leave the party if they fail to implement his ideas.

But unfortunately, it was his policies that wrecked Nigeria's economy.

So Tinubu has already been tested at the federal level and he failed.

This is just a a self-serving journey born out of greed, but he will fail woefully.

Risk his life for which Nigeria? Same one Nigeria Tinubu said he does not believe in? Same Nigeria Tinubu foist the catastrophic Buhari on to destroy that is insulting our sensibility that "emilokan"? It will never be well with these idiots.

Nobody asked Tinubu to do anything
Tinubu only interest was to fleece Nigeria dry
The owner of lagos need our votes to become the owner of Nigeria

Sooo i shud do what now? I shud also risk my future and that of my children by voting him?........ Op, be lyk u no get wetin to post

is this qualified ?

Not only him. Every Nigerian risk their lives daily now due to the maladaministration of APC. It is now the turn of Nigerians not Tinubu

Where him for battles

blackpanda:


Calm down. Just read your history books

What history books?

Was he arrested?

Did he stand with Abiola when he declared and was arrested?

Tinubu was insignificant in the early to the mid 90's. He was so irrelevant in national and regional politics. He became relevant when he aligned with a grassroots political matriarch Madam Mogaji whom she adopted as a son. We shouldn't forget that Madam Mogaji was well respected in the military era(thats a story for another day).

So young man what do you know about history? and choose your words carefully if you decide to mention me again.

I repeat Tinubu was a coward who betrayed Abiola.

N0nsense!

Tinubu risked his life for his pocket & it paid off. 10% of Lagos revenue no be here.

hmmmmmmmm
