He noted the groups considered the candidates’ campaign an obligation, adding that they would knock on every door, speak to every Nigerian, and travel across the length and breadth of the country to preach and win converts for Tinubu/Shettima.
Hassan said: “It is a first of many and a demonstration of our excitement and readiness to promote our candidates, Nigeria’s City Boy, Bola Tinubu, and Golden Boy of Zenith, whose transformation of Lagos and unparalleled contributions to Nigeria’s development uniquely qualify him for the presidency.
“Thousands of young Nigerians have already thronged Abuja for the event. It will be loud, symbolic, and indicative of the apparent fact that Bola Ahmed Tinubu will sweep the youth votes in 2023.
“That they are known and tested performers help our mission. And frankly, it is hard, if not impossible, to reject the advances of our candidates. We will not fail.”
