The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, was at the weekend endorsed by popular Islamic group, the Jam’Iyyatu Ansariddeen Attijaniyya. The 25-million strong religious body declared support for Tinubu in Abuja when he paid a courtesy visit to the mission headquarters of the group. The National Secretary of the group, Muhammad Al Qasim Yahaya told Tinubu and his entourage that a formal public declaration by the group for the APC presidential candidate will take place next month at the organisation’s annual Maulud celebration where millions will converge. Niger will host this year’s commemoration. Welcoming Tinubu, the religious leader said: “May I start by congratulating you or by thanking you, or both. Insha ALLAH you are the next President of Nigeria come May 2023. This has been destined by ALLAH (SWT) and there is nothing anyone can do.” Yahaya said the contributions of the APC flag bearer to politics, religion and humanity have endeared him to many Nigerians as a person that can be trusted with the leadership of the country. Reminiscing on the political record of Tinubu, the cleric said: “you were a Governor with distinction, a businessman of repute, a statesman and a philanthropist, I can loudly say without fear of contradiction that you are a pride to Islam and humanity, You have developed so many Nigerians in governance, in business and other aspects of life more than any Nigerian, according to our research. The Holy Prophet of Islam S.A.W once said, “The best of you is the one who adds more value to Humanity. “Therefore Your Excellency, that is the reason behind our developed strategies for your complete success, not only in the election but success in heading the most populous black nation in Africa; Nigeria. “We have sensitized our people on the voters’ registration, we are proud to say we have 8,312,212 verifiable members who are registered out of about 92 million qualified voters in Nigeria. We have achieved almost more than 100% from the 2019 election. “We have a network all over the country and all the leaders have come together after rigorous prayers and consultation to publically declare our support on the Asiwaju/Shettima Ticket. “We are not doing this in the dark or the secret but everywhere publicly, and Insha ALLAH on that 17th –December 2022 we will make our declaration more pronounced at our largest assembly; that our support to Asiwaju is not out of hypocrisy but out of a conviction as we are taught by our religion, Islam.” The group place an 8-point request before the APC presidential candidate. It demanded the inclusion of the organisation’s structures in all activities in all the States of the Federation for successful collaboration and requested for application of humanity in politics and governance for the benefit of all Nigerians. The group also demanded a comprehensive programme for the Almajiri system to curtail the problem of out-of-school children and asked Tinubu to do more on the security of lives and property to guarantee the survival of the citizen as well as on health. The Islamic organisation also urged the presidential hopeful to reduce the cost of governance to allow room for more infrastructural development and establish a ministry or agency to cater for religious affairs which will assist in handling violent extremism in all Religions. Responding, Tinubu who was accompanied by former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and Ya’u Shehu Darazo. Senior Special Assistant to the President, assured the group of his readiness to address the out-of-school children across the country. The former Lagos Governor said he has a comprehensive programme that will also address the issue of Almajiri in the northern part of the country. The APC candidate further assured all Nigerians of an all-inclusive administration that will ensure the actualisation of his 80-page Action Plan. http:///5394df7d221120en_ng?link=1&client=news |

ItsTutsi:You obviously have not met your superiors. One phone call from them, and you'll wet your pants. Tinubu has disobeyed all the laws in Biggie's Ten crack commandments especially number four: "NEVER GET HIGH ON YOUR OWN SUPPLY". Tinubu is the master of washee and lies. He's now paying people to lie to him. |
