NGO Says Tinubu Is Answer To Nigeria’s Problems
The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) will play host to the 2023 presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP).
The candidates are Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (PDP), Mr Peter Obi ( LP) and Alhaji Bola Tinubu (APC).
The LCCI director-general, Dr Chinyere Almona, made this known in a statement on Wednesday in Lagos, Almona said the event would be part of the 2022 edition of LCCI’s Private Sector Economic Forum for the 2023 presidential election.
She said LCCI was a non-partisan private sector operator which was, however, interested in the economic agenda of the candidates and their plans to make Nigeria better.
She said as part of its public policy advocacy, the chamber would continuously explore ways of creating a conducive business environment in Nigeria through positive engagements with governments at all levels.
Almona said LCCI had, over the years, offered a platform for governorship and presidential candidates from major political parties to present their plans for private sector development in Nigeria.
According to her, the chamber has hosted series of forum successfully over the last four political transitions (16 years).
“The forum which is scheduled to hold on three separate dates at Commerce House, Victoria Island, Lagos, provides a first-hand opportunity for presidential candidates of the three leading political parties to speak to the organised private sector on their economic blueprint for nigeria. “people’s democratic party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is scheduled for Tuesday, September 13, at 9.30 a.m. “Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, is slated for Wednesday, September 14, at 9.30 a.m.
“All Progressive Congress Party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, would be engaged on Friday, October 28 at 9.30 a.m.
“The physical event, which will be streamed on all LCCI social media platforms, provides an opportunity for participants to ask questions from the presidential candidates on their manifestoes.
The Nobel Youth Development for Peace said it threw its weight behind the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the 2023 general elections because he is the answer to Nigeria’s problems.
The non-governmental organisation rose from its August conference held in Abuja recently urging Nigerians to “shun campaigns of calumny against Tinubu/Shettima” ahead of the 2023 elections describing such as “part of antics of desperate and drowning politicians.”
The conference assembled critical personalities and leaders alongside hundreds of Nigerian youths from across the country, all of whom came to pledge their support for the APC presidential aspirant Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu/ Shettima 2023 presidential ticket.
Speaking at the conference, the NYDP chairperson, Otunba Tajudeen Oke, declared the willingness of their association to deploy its wide network and resources to support the Tinubu/Shettima campaign Movement.
Oke noted that the NYDP has a strong structure on ground already to campaign and support Tinubu in the 2023 general presidential elections.
According to him, the NYDP has state coordinators across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT, 774 local governments coordinators as well as six zonal coordinators or each geopolitical zone all of whom are ready to drive and support the Tinubu/Shettima campaign to victory come 2023.
“We have our ‘world members’ including, youths and NYDP members spread across different countries ready to pledge their egalitarian support, as well as influence on the international level to support and campaign for our candidate which is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Shettima come 2023,” he explained.
While calling on all stakeholders and youths to embrace the ticket to guarantee a prosperous Nigeria, he reiterated that Tinubu is hale and hearty, agile and fit and above all has all the capacity and wisdom to pilot the nation’s economy as well as address the challenges being faced by the nation currently.
The NYDP group maintained that “Tinubu has epitomised consistency and stability in terms of political philosophy stressing that his days right from the Alliance for Democracy to the Action Congress of Nigeria and the formation of the All Progressive Congress (APC) speaks volume.
Illuminating the notable achievements of Tinubu, the Ijebu Ode born declared that leadership was Tinubu’s greatest strength.
Otunba Tajudeen Oke, explained that Lagos is what it is today because of the instrumentality of a vision-driven leader in the person of Tinubu. He explained that “far back as 1999, when what we have in Lagos today were only dreams in the minds of visionaries, Tinubu took over like that proverbial octopus with all its hands in all the jars, weaving Lagos State from pit to the palace it is today.”
