Group launches grassroots support for Tinubu in Bauchi

Lobito, a group supporting the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in Bauchi State, has launched its grassroots support for the former governor of Lagos State.

At the official launching of Lobito, yesterday, the Coordinator, Habu Mamman, said he would work hard to disabuse the minds of many Bauchi electorate on the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu and former governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima.

Mamman, who claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari emerged from the group, said it also endorsed Tinubu to lead the country after Buhari.

He believes that Tinubu is more qualified than any other candidate.

“We are going to sell him (Tinubu) to the rural dwellers through our Lobito that Maigaskiya (Buhari) emerged from here and this is a continuation of our struggle,” Mamman said.

Tinubu, to him, is strong enough to lead the country and bring out needed development through his protégés.

“This is someone, who has more capacity than I do. People should not continue to de-market our candidate because of his age. Look at the United States President, he’s 74; is he not ruling them? Tinubu now has multiple ages; some people say he is 90, 80 and others say he is more than that,” Mamman said.

Local council coordinators were introduced to take the Tinubu gospel to every nook and cranny of the state.
