He said: “We want Tinubu to be the next Nigeria president because he has very large heart, very accommodating and we see him as a fantastic man”.
Suleiman who said that he had come a long way with Asiwaju Tinubu, recalled the assistance Tinubu rendered to President Muhammadu Buhari on his way to the Presidency in 2015, saying if not for Tinubu’s support, Buhari who had contested three times without success wouldn’t have been president.
“It is now time to repay him. 2023 is the turn of the South West and we appeal to him to come out and contest. We are going to mobilise support for him in the north. He saw an unprecedented crowd when he came to Kano for his birthday’s colloquium. We are assuring him that we are mobilizing people for him and he should not disappoint the people”, he said.
Suleiman maintained that the Northerners are for ‘Tinubu for President Project’.
“The support for Asiwaju in the north is amazing. We were in Kano for his birthday colloquium, the crowd that Asiwaju saw in Kano was overwhelming. Kano people don’t look at your riches in as much as you are a good man. We in the north appreciate the role he played in bringing about this government. We love him, we appreciate him
“Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo was a former Commissioner under Tinubu, Minister of Interior, Engr. Rauf Aregbesola was a one time commissioner in Lagos state before he served as two terms governor in his home state, Osun, the current Minister of Works, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) was former Chief of Staff to Tinubu before he governed Lagos for two terms. Minister of state for Health, Dr Olorunmbe Mamora was the Speaker of the Lagos State Assembly when Tinubu was governor. This is to tell you that Tinubu is a fantastic man that easily develops talents”, he said.
Also speaking, the TSO National Youth Leader, Alhaji Abubakar Aliyu Takai said Tinubu is receiving huge support in the North because of his support for the Buhari administration.
“The person we are advertising is not from my tribe. We are not from the same state or zone. We are advertising him just because he has this country in mind. His legacy in Lagos is there for all to see and all the northern youths are calling on Tinubu to contest the 2023 presidency and we assure him he will win’ he said.
