Elections: Support Group Mobilizes Voters for Tinubu/Shettima 

A support group, Likeminds Initiative for Tinubu, has embarked on mobilization of voters for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.

According to Mr. Augustine Esiekpe, the National Coordinator, LikeMinds Initiative For Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate is better qualified to lead Nigeria than any other candidate in the Feb. 25 presidential election.

Mr. Esiekpe said this at a strategic meeting to mobilize voters for Tinubu/Shettima for the general election in Abuja on Saturday.

According to him, an Asiwaju as president will do a better job as president than Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.

“He will be sagacious, strong-willed and effect the needed change in the country.

“Tinubu has a better character than any other presidential candidate in the race.

“The former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar shouldn’t have joined the 2023 presidential race, because it is the turn of the South to rule.

“The North as represented by President Muhammadu Buhari has had its eigth years share, so what is Atiku looking for, where is he representing.

“The presidency should rotate between the North and the South because there must be justice, fairness and equity.

“If we give Obi or Atiku our future is not secured, we should look at Tinubu who is better with record of performance to show,” he said.

He said the group would mobilize voters in the Federal Capital Territory to ensure landslide victory for APC.

“Mobilization is key to winning election. 

“In Lagos state people hardly vote on election day. They rather resort to playing football on election day.

“Our group’s major work is to identify people with Permanent Voters’ Cards and move them to vote on the day of election.

“Our group would also bring INEC officials to educate members on Bimidal Verification Accreditation System (BVAS),” he stated.

This according to him, would enable the group to sensitize others so they would understand the electoral process on election day and would be able to educate others.

“The Obidient camp is doing this sensitization seriously.

“These are some of the sensitization we need to embark upon.

“Campaign isn’t about gathering people at rallies, but going from place to place to sensitize voters,” he added.
