2023: Why S/West must deliver impressive vote for Tinubu

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) South-West zone, says the zone should deliver impressive votes for its Presidential Candidate, Sen. Bola Tinubu in 2023 because he remains the most experienced.

The National Vice Chairman of APC (South-West), Mr Isaacs Kekemeke made the remarks while addressing the media after a closed-door meeting of the APC zonal executives on Monday at the party’s Secretariat in Lagos.

Kekemeke said: “It is incumbent on us not just to deliver but to deliver very impressively. This gives us responsibility to work very hard. We have had a long strategy session.

“We have resolved to deliver to the party in the South-West, a new campaign and mobilsation strategy, new talking points, new ways of addressing, communicating and interfacing with our women and youths.

“We are going to explain to them the need for every resident, citizen and registered voters in the South-West to do the needful by ensuring that our votes are overwhelmingly delivered to our father and to our leader in the South-West, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“The zone must vote for Asiwaju because he is the best and most experienced among those in the race. He is very competent and qualified with a pedigree of many firsts that we can feel and touch.”

“We intend to mobilise our leaders, youths, students, women and everyone indeed in the South West to support APC.

“We are aware that our zone has the second largest registered voters in our country and we intend to mobilise everyone of the 18.3 millions voters for our party.

“That is the resolution of the zonal executive committee,” the APC leader said.

Kekemeke said that Tinubu would create a new Nigeria as he created a new Lagos State, saying that he was poised about repositioning the country and improving the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

According to him, Tinubu belongs to South West, hence the more reason to support him.
