A group called Tinubu Support Group has tackled the Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu, for urging the All Progressives Congress leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, not to contest presidency in 2023.
The group says his advice is mischievous, saying Tinubu’s dream is a national project.
Okechukwu had urged Tinubu to forgo his presidential ambition and instead support a candidate from the South-East.
But in a statement signed on Monday by the Acting Head of Media and Publicity of TSG, Adeyanju Oluwatosin, titled ‘2023: Tinubu project is National Project, TSG tells VON DG’, the group decried his suggestion.
The TSG described Tinubu’s presidential ambition as a national project.
It stressed that the National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu, is currently focused on helping the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to deliver on his campaign promises to Nigerians as a good party man.
“Without a doubt, our Leader has not declared intention to run but we have started seeing patriots across the country calling on him to run because of his leadership qualities.
“Asiwaju is a nationalist known by all Nigerians which is why the majority of the masses have been insisting he must contest. We advise Okechukwu to be a good party man and stop all his antics to divide our great party and southern Nigeria,” the statement read.
