Chairman of Lagos State Parks and Garages Management, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya popularly called MC Oluomo has said Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 elections is the man that should take over from President Muhammadu Buhari.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that MC Oluomo said this on Sunday in Lagos State as thousands of supporters of the APC trooped out for a five million-man solidarity walk in support of Tinubu and his running mate Sen. Kashim Shettima.
The five million-man solidarity walk organized by MC Oluomo in collaboration with “Team Lagos, Nigeria’, a support group, was also to show support for the re-election of Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his running mate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat and all the APC candidates in the State.
The APC supporters, who defied the early downpour, converged at the entrance of Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere as early as 7.00 a.m with the rally terminating at Bolade Oshodi with a funfair at noon.
Addressing the supporters, MC Oluomo, who is the former Chairman of the proscribed National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) said the walk became imperative to demonstrate the massive support for Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
He said the former Lagos state governor who laid the foundation for the progressive development of the state had the character, capacity and competence to provide leadership that everyone would be proud of in the country.
According to him, Tinubu has the experience and ability to replicate all the visible developments in Lagos state at the Federal level if given the opportunity.
Also speaking, Mr Waheed Seriki, one of the leaders of APC support group in the rally said: “Asiwaju Tinubu is prepared to change the narrative of the challenges facing the nation.
“Some areas that will enjoy priority of the incoming Tinubu’s administration include insecurity, power generation and employment creation.”
