Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, a political group, Tinubu Vanguard, has described as hope-inspiring the declaration by the National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Bola Tinubu, to contest in the presidential race.
The Director-General of the group, Dr Johnny Benjamin, made this known on Tuesday as he said the former Lagos State governor can consolidate on the present administration’s achievements.
This comes after Tinubu had made known his intention to contest in the 2023 presidential poll on Monday, after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
Benjamin said that his announcement was a relief to different groups and individuals prevailing on him to contest.
“We have since been calling on Tinubu to contest for the presidency because of his track record of performance and democratic credentials.
“He has the capacity to take Nigeria to greater heights.
“His declaration has put to rest to all the anxiety, and it is a great relief to all of us,” he said.
Benjamin commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his “fatherly disposition,” neutrality, and accepting to provide a level playing field for all aspirants.
