In light of the 2023 General Elections, the Speaker of the House of Representatives — Rep Femi Gbajabiamila says the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will certainly serve the interests of all Nigeria if elected.
The speaker made this affirmation today in Lagos while speaking at the Surulere Constituency 2 APC Town Hall meeting.
He said: “One thing I can assure all Nigerians is that when Asiwaju Bola Tinubu becomes the president of this country, he will be president for all.
“He will care for the Yoruba people, he will care for South-Southhe will care for the Igbos, he will care for the Nupes and the northerners.
“He is the only candidate that has proven himself well. He has the capacity and will deliver”, Gbajabiamila said.
The Speaker also took advantage of the opportunity to appeal to the conscience of the Igbo people, saying: “To our brothers and sisters from the South East, has Asiwaju done anything to offend anybody in the South East? Has he done anything wrong?
“Tell me one state in Nigeria where you have a non-non-indigene cabinet. I can tell you, the only state where that happens is Lagos state.
“The Director-General of Budget Office in Nigeria, one of the highest positions in Nigeria, what is his name? Ben Akabueze. Is he from Lagos? No, he is from the South East and Asiwaju put him there.
”He determines the budget. Whatever money any agency or department is looking for, it must come Akabueze’s table. He determines whether to give or not to give. That is a man from the South East, put there by Asiwaju Tinubu.
“And I can give you many more names. So, why will a man that has done much for the Igbos now come to you for votes, and you tell him he has not done bad, he has done well, but because he is not from the South East, we have somebody from the South East to vote for. I think that is not the way to go,” he said.
With the 2023 General Elections 62 days away from today, it’s left to see the trajectory the Speaker’s declaration in Tinubu will take in deciding the nation’s next President.
