A coalition of youth groups in the Southsouth and Southeast has thrown their weight behind the All progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The Southsouth, Southeast Coalition for Tinubu (SSET) said the politician’s records in public office make him better than others in the race for the 2023 presidency.
SSET, therefore, vowed to work towards the former Lagos State governor’s victory in the poll by mobilizing 10 million votes for him in the Southsouth and Southeast.
Deputy Youth Leader of the coalition, Mark Mark, Nnamdi Ofonye, Victor Sorokwu, and Akiba Ekpeyong, stated these in Port Harcourt, Asaba, and Calabar.
Mark said despite the activities of “ethnic bigots and religious fundamentalists,” Tinubu remains the best candidate for the Presidency at “this critical moment of our history”.
His words: “Tinubu’s foundation in Lagos and his economic blueprint are visible even to the blind. We can recall how he stood against the military and fought for the democracy we are enjoying today.
“Tinubu is a man of courage and we know that he is the only one that will tackle the insecurity currently ravaging the country. Tinubu is the only one that has the best interest of youths at heart. He knows how to create an enabling environment for youths to have jobs.
“Our coalition is currently penetrating the grassroots to preach the gospel of Tinubu to people. Our membership is increasing every day and our target is to give the APC Presidential candidate at least 10 million votes in the Southsouth and the Southeast”.
