Senator Soji Akanbi, Ex Senator who represented Oyo South Senatorial District at the upper chamber of the National Assembly between (2015-2019) has described former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of APC, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu as someone who believes in equity, fairness and Justice.
Akanbi made this encomium in a release he personally signed and made available to naijatodaynews.com.ng
According to him,”Asiwaju is like an open book, all well monitored. If he talks, it is news. So there is little or nothing hidden about his recent trip abroad. The good thing is that he is back, looking good and healthy. We are glad that he is back, very healthy and sound. That’s the good news.
“Asiwaju is a pathfinder and a problem solver. He plans ahead. He doesn’t dwell on the mistakes of the past. He learns from the past and moves on. At the moment, he is the unifying force for the country. And the good aspect is that we can see his records since he was the governor of Lagos and after he left, till today. Look at his team then and look at where most of them are today. He is result oriented and I can safely tell you that he believes in equity, fairness and justice. I can go on and on to say more. He is a very consistent person.”
“As you are aware, Asiwaju has not spoken on this matter. The initiative belongs to SWAGA 23. With SWAGA’ 23, we believe intelligently that SWAGA started for the good of the country, and it is more like a rallying point, which started from the regions and we believe that so far so good, like our leaders in the North too want equity and justice by conceding to give the presidential ticket to a southerner. This is why the Southwest wants to put its best candidate out there. Let’s assume that eventually, all concede to a southern ticket. This move of ours will galvanise APC to win the coming election. Asiwaju is a fantastic person, in a fantastic position. His friends are all over.”
“This is why we are resolute on Tinubu. He has friends across the board, across the country. Truly, he is a Nigerian and that goes beyond party lines. So, it won’t be about the APC or any party, it will be about the individual”, Akanbi said
