2023 Presidency: Tinubu’s political movement flagged-off in Abuja

- By Saawua Terzungwe

Apolitical movement called BAT 23 has been flaggedoff in Abuja to canvas support for the national leader of the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, for the 2023 general elections.

Tinubu is said to be warming up to contest the number one seat in the country on the platform of the APC.

The National Coordinato­r of the movement, Umar Inusa, said during its flag-off that BAT 23 consisted of Tinubu’s supporters who were drawn from the 36 states and the FCT. Inusa said the movement was formed to root for Tinubu ahead of 2023.

He said Tinubu was a highly experience­d leader with the required political tact to take over from where President Muhammadu Buhari would stop in 2023, for the developmen­t of the country.

“Tinubu is a leader who transforms nothing into something and feeds his people from the riches of what has been so transforme­d.

“In his time as Lagos State governor, staff salaries, developmen­t projects, philanthro­pic activities never stopped. That is the man of Bola Tinubu, and that is just one state,” he said.

“Now, think about the bigger picture here. If he did that in Lagos and we never heard Lagos State going into recession at the time, what if he had the whole country struggling to manage her abundant resources? Let us ponder upon that.

“That is the man of caliber and pedigree, a charismati­c and selfless leader we pray to canvass support to pilot the affairs of this nation and take it to the promised land,” he added.
