Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has advanced reasons why All Progressives Congress critical stakeholders, particularly lawmakers must buy into the ambition of the APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu, to become Nigeria’s president in 2023.

He said Tinubu’s antecedents, and ability to transform vision and ideas into a reality positioned him as the best candidate to succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Sanwo-Olu made the call while addressing a gathering of Speakers of Houses of Assembly at a forum organised by Lagos State House of Assembly in Ikeja on Wednesday. The event’s theme is: “The Legislature, Changing Times and Nigeria’s Democratic Journey”.

This was contained in a statement by his spokesman, Gboyega Akosile, titled, ‘Sanwo-Olu: ‘Asiwaju our only hope for true transformational leadership’.


Fifteen serving HoA Speakers from states being governed by APC fully attended the consultative forum, which also had serving Deputy Speakers, serving legislators of states, and all former of the Conference of Speakers in attendance.

Sanwo-Olu told the lawmakers that the only tested individual with such gift and competence need for Nigeria’s transformation is Tinubu, who was a former governor of Lagos.

According to him, Tinubu’s leadership capacity had been sufficiently demonstrated, given the tenacity with which the former Lagos Governor rolled out vision and ideas that transformed the sub-national city into a flourishing economy.

He said the forum was held as part of wide consultations embarked on by the APC leader in his bid to win the of the party across various backgrounds and camps.

Sanwo-Olu said: “It is not by chance that you all are gathered here today. It is because we agree totally that you all are important stakeholders that need to be engaged and identified with separately from others.

“You are the real foot soldiers who can go back to the hallowed chambers and the message to all of your respective Houses of Assembly and your former colleagues in the legislature across States.

“Tell them that the man, Asiwaju Tinubu, whom we all look forward to, has reached out and identified with them as important stakeholders in the journey to next political dispensation. We need a fresh breath of leadership at this critical moment in our country.

“Asiwaju is qualified and competent to provide leadership we desire to see. He has the spirit, capacity, tenacity, and experience to do that for us. As stakeholders, legislators, both current and former, are the critical component that can make this happen for us.”

Jagaban makers of men , these political neophytes can't lace Jagaban shoes.

Ijaw Republic our home.Ijaws being the 4th largest tribe and having a population of over 10 percent of Nigeria deserves 2 more states and more LGAs for Bayelsa state.
Bayelsa state is bigger than 10 Nigerian states and have over 550 villages and settlements but are so marginalized in times of LGAs.
Forget that lie population figure in book that many falsify.
The truth remains.
All Nigeria's offshore oil go with Ijaw Republic because we are the ones sharing borders with the whole ocean.


Ijaw produces over 90 percent of all Nigeria's crude oil but were unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States when all Ijaw areas are fully together and are not scattered by God.
The Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization is asking the Nigerian system to restore us to none balkanized by creating Toru-Ebe State (for Ijaws of Ondo, Edo, Delta), Oil-Rivers State (for Ijaws of Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States and increase Bayelsa LGAs to the proper number as it is in other States.
These states are economically viable.

Failure to do this, we are going to take full militant actions in every way so as to leave Nigeria and go for Ijaw Republic.
