The National Coordinator of Bola Ahmed Tinubu support group, the Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje has advised the former vice president and the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar to join forces with Tinubu on how to rescue Nigeria, saying that it is quite obvious to Atiku himself that Tinubu is Nigeria’s next president.

Alawuje alleged that the presidential candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi is daydreaming, by allowing himself to be, “completely carried away by social media frenzy and fake prophets that see nothing but lies”.

To this end, he urged the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu to begin to perfect the composition of his cabinet, saying his chance of winning the 2023 election is quite certain.

In a statement on Wednesday, the leader of the Tinubu supporters group, said:

“Comes 2023, the bitter truth that must be told is that Atiku himself knows Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria. It’s only the overrated Obi who is rather deceiving himself.

“Obi still needs to learn the rope. He must, first of all, weigh his political relevance and determine his political value within the political landscape. To remain relevant beyond 2023, Obi should learn to play real opposition because democracy thrives on vibrant opposition. Unfortunately, Obi seems to be too weak to play any meaningful opposition to Tinubu.

“Our appeal, therefore, goes to spiritual leaders of notable religions and faiths. It’s time to start supporting Tinubu with prayers for God’s assistance and protection in the overall interest of our nation and for the sake of the unborn generation.

“All well-meaning individuals and elder statesmen like Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma, Abdulsalami Abubakar, Chief Edwin Clarke, including true leaders of socio-cultural groups should all come together to rally around Tinubu to rewrite Nigeria’s history. Nigeria is truly at crossroads and all well-meaning Nigerians must jettison party, tribal and religious affiliations to do the right thing. Tinubu is the child of history. History beckons, we must not miss the point.

“We must all remember that when the hawks who destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party strove to destroy the APC between 2015 and 2019, the ruling party was left with no choice than to re-invite the abandoned political strategist to change the game which he did; just as he did in 2015, defeating Atiku at the APC National Convention in Lagos.

“We must all understand that politicians do move across political parties, hence political parties may not be too different from one another, but personalities do. Nigerians should therefore deemphasis working and voting across party lines, religious or tribal lines, they should instead consider individual capacity, capability and track records.”
