Nigerian Students Back Tinubu’s 2023 Presidential Ambition

Some students, under the aegis of Tinubu/ Shetima Students Vanguard (TSSV), have declared support for the 2023 ambition of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

According to them, the decision was based on the fact that Tinubu had all it required to rule Nigeria.

Naija News reports that the students, who pledged to work for Tinubu’s emergence in 2023, said their support for the APC presidential candidate was after a careful evaluation of all the candidates.

The group’s Coordinator, Sunday Asefon, who made the declaration at a media briefing in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, noted that “there are strong indications that the APC candidate would run a student-friendly government, saying his exploits in all sectors of governance, particularly, the education sector when he was at the helm of affairs in Lagos State remained verifiable testimonies of his leadership capacity.”

He added that Tinubu’s intellectual prowess, pedigree, administrative acumen, competence and experience are very important to Nigeria’s growth.

Asefon also remarked that “Tinubu’s presidency would be a great blessing to the entirety of Nigeria as he possesses the leadership qualities needed to transform Nigeria, looking at how he changes the fortunes of Lagos State for the better,” adding that if given the chance, Tinubu will do same with Nigeria what he did to Lagos state.

The group’s coordinator, who is the immediate past National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), said “It is no longer news that Nigeria will be going through an electing year in 2023 during which the country is expected to witness another transition period in the political leadership of the most populous black nation of the world.

“There is no doubt that the outcome of the election will have a great impact on the lives of the young population whether positive or negative.

“So, It’s on this note that we the Nigerian students under the aegis of the theTinubu/ Shettima Students Vanguard cutting acrosses all campuses of the 36 states have reviewed political developments of the country and concluded to mobilise our members and indeed the millions of progressive Nigerian students to support Tinubu and Shettima.”
