Biola Azeez – Ilorin
Members of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation (BATCO) in Kwara state on Wednesday said that they are confident that President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu will unite Nigeria.
BATCO added that Tinubu understands the dynamism and complexities of the country.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on the sideline of a victory party organized by members of the organization, the state coordinator of the BATCO, Mallam AbdulRaseed Salaudeen, said that the president-elect is nationally accepted.
Salaudeen, who is also the Special Assistant to Kwara state governor on Transport, said that Tinubu “is capable of fixing the current challenges bedeviling the nation. He has done it before. He did it in Lagos state. You can feel it everywhere. Look at the way those northern people accepted Tinubu. It shows that Tinubu is not a sectional and regional politician. He is nationally accepted”.
BATCO coordinator, who said the organisation faced a number of hurdles that border on Naira redesign and fuel scarcity before and during the campaign, thanked God and supporters for the success recorded.
“We are here today to celebrate our (APC)’s victory at the February 25 and March 18 presidential and National Assembly as well as governorship and House of Assembly elections.
“For your information, this is the first time a politician will be elected as president,” he said.
Corroborating him, Kwara South Coordinator of BATCO, Adewole Abel, attributed Tinubu’s victory in the election to the grace of God, his doggedness and his determination not to be distracted by the antics of naysayers.
Mr. Abel added that though the tasks ahead of Tinubu are enormous but they are not insurmountable.
“Actually, the tasks ahead of him are enormous but he is up to the task, he has been tested and trusted. His exploits in Lagos when he was governor are a reference point.
“We have also seen in him that he is not a regional leader. He is a national leader,” he said.
