By Anthony Maliki
The Youth Federation of Nigeria has called on Nigerians to support the Presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu describing him as a true nationalist, bridge builder, uncommon achiever and man of legacy.
At a press conference in Abuja Friday, National President of the group, Ambassador Mubarak Aliyu Rimi noted that Asiwaju Tinubu is not any ordinary politician seeking the perks of office.
According to him, Nigeria today is facing a lot of serious challenges that needs more than just an ordinary personality to take it out of its many troubles pointing out that the country needs an experienced, tested, nationalist and father figure to deliver leadership.
Ambassador Rimi stressed that from a humble beginning through the private sector, Civil Society movements, Parliament to Lagos State government house, Asiwaju Tinubu has consistently provided uncommon leadership with many upcoming politicians passing through his informal leadership mentorship.
He explained that Tinubu never got to the present enviable record as the biggest single politician in Nigeria by accident but a carefully planned path from the trenches fighting for soul of Nigeria up to the top space.
The national president noted that for so much he has done in providing exemplary leadership, Tinubu ranks as the best candidate Nigeria needs to lead the country going forward in 2023.
“Politics primarily is about building people and institutions, a field the present National leader of APC, Ahmed Tinubu seems to enjoy absolute monopoly,” he pointed out.
Besides, Ambassador Rimi said in view of his incredible political pedigree and unparalleled mentorship, the organization is calling on the federal government to consider and Tinubu by creating after his name a leadership mentoring centre where young and future leaders are groomed.
