Grassroots movement, The Progressive G10, chaired by the Mr. Tayo Akinmade Ayinde, Chief of Staff to Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has thrown its weight behind the presidential ambition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the re-election bid of Sanwo-Olu in the coming general elections.

During a briefing at the group’s secretariat in Lagos, the convener, Olorunnimbe Ismail Adediran, said Tinubu’s track record, as the governor of Lagos State and achievements in politics, placed him above other contestants.

He said Tinubu’s leadership traits were evident in the number of people he had groomed politically, who have now become successful in their political careers.

Adediran said: “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown uncommon leadership traits as an achiever, a senator, and a two-time performing governor with indelible impacts in all areas of governance where other states replicated his achievements.”

He added that Tinubu still remains relevant several years after he has left government, and urged APC members to embark on a door-to-door campaign to drum up support for the presidential candidate.

Adediran noted that other contestants cannot boast of half of Tinubu’s achievements, describing them as ‘liars with deep-seated ego and hatred for our diversity,’ while some “can’t be trusted with the nation’s wealth.”
