Tinubu Better Than Atiku, Obi- Support Group

A group, Coalition Movement for Bola Ahmed Tinubu has described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives as the best for Nigeria in 2023.

The group said the All Progressives Congress flagbearer outclassed other candidates, including Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party respectively in terms of achievements in political offices they previously held.

In a statement on Sunday by its Convener, Senator Rilwan Akanbi, COMBAT said the achievements of Tinubu during his stint as Lagos State governor present him as the favourite to succeed the President, Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the group, what appeared to be common among the four leading contenders is the fact that they have participated and won the governorship elections in their states in the past. In addition, they have held different political positions at the federal government levels.

The statement read, “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands out among the major contenders in promotion of democratic consolidation to reposition Nigeria before and during his tenure as Lagos state government.

“It is on record that his stand for expanding the frontier of governance through the creation of Local Government and efforts to sustain it despite opposition by the PDP government under Obasanjo-Atiku tickets makes him far better in terms of ability to restructure the country if given the mandate to lead the country.

“This is incomparable with Peter Obi of Labour party who refused to allow the democratic selection of local government chairmen for 8 years while in office”, the statement added.
