The South West zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC), under the chairmanship of Barr. Isaac Kekemeke, has congratulated former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on his election as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
A statement signed by the Zonal Secretary, Mr Ayo Afolabi, on Thursday, said Tinubu’s election demonstrated an overwhelming support from Nigerians across geo-political zones, adding that it was a clear indication that Nigerians want him as their next president.
“The APC in South West stand by every step you take in the journey to the Presidency, and we like to assure you that we will deliver the votes of the South West in not less than 90 per cent of total registered voters in the region.
“We are one with our governors, National Assembly members, State Assembly members, local governments and indeed all leaders and members of our great party within the South West region in this movement.
“We send you our hearty congratulations, and we pray that this will be the beginning of a turnaround for Nigeria in terms of security, economic development, infrastructural upgrading, agric development and housing for the entire population of Nigeria.
“We appeal to all Nigerians to stand up and be counted in this noble movement to build on the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari, which will put Nigeria in its proper place in the committee of great nations,” the statement added.
