OSIBANJO, AMAECHI, YERIMA TO SUPPORT TINUBU'S 2027 AMBITION ..... Set To Inaugurate Forum
.... Promises to rally presidential candidates of all other political parties in the February 25, 2023 presidential poll “for a harmonious working relationship in the interest of the development of the country as we believe that electioneering periods are over and it is time for all hands to be on deck.”
With the political calculations for the next election circle for 2027 already on the burner, political gladiators have reportedly gone into a spin with the leaders of All Progressives Congress, APC working to endorse the return of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the party's flagbearer.
Accordingly, aspirants during the 2023 Presidential primary elections of the APC which includes former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, the former Minister of Transport, Chubuike Rotimi Amaechi, have formed a forum known as Forum of 2023 APC Presidential Aspirants, which is billed for inauguration on Monday, December 18, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
The Forum of 2023 APC Presidential Aspirants, in a statement signed by its convener/acting Chairman, Senator Ahmed Yerima, and the youngest APC presidential aspirant in the 2023 polls, Nicholas Felix, on Sunday in Abuja, said; “That because we are committed to the success of President Tinubu and his administration, all members who hitherto had presidential aspirations have all agreed to drop such even ahead 2027 so as to pave a smooth sail for President Tinubu to seek a second tenure. This is a project we are already working on and will leave no stone unturned.”
According to the statement, "Monday’s inauguration of the forum will also double as its end-of-the-year dinner."
Speaking on the major objective of the Forum, it said: "Our main objective is to support President Tinubu and the APC administration for the interest of the country.
“Today, as a people and country, we are faced with myriads of socio-economic problems and we believe that we can only surmount them when we come together, irrespective of our religious, ethnic and even political differences to face these challenges head on.
The Forum, in its statement, disclosed that; "Basically, the objective of the forum is to ensure that we come together solidly to support President Tinubu’s administration, having surrendered all our individual interests and collapsed same to support the emergence of President Tinubu.
“As critical stakeholders, we have decided that it is not enough to sit back behind the scenes but to come out and mobilise support for the government’s policies and programmes.
“This forum from time to time will play an intermediary role of ensuring that all the policies and programmes of the government are well disseminated down to the people, especially the grassroots”.
To fully stay on track, the forum of 2023 APC presidential aspirants vowed to constantly have direct engagements with the president “as a way of feedback mechanism and at the same time, render possible advice where necessary.
“This forum will leverage our individual and collective international contacts to ensure that the Nigerians in the diaspora are adequately informed and mobilised to give the President a rousing welcome. We will always go ahead and make adequate preparations in this regard,” it added.
The Forum of APC Presidential Aspirants therefore appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the Tinubu administration, saying; relying on his vast experience and antecedents, "the president is working very hard to turn the fortunes of the country around.”
It also promised to rally presidential candidates of all other political parties in the February 25, 2023 presidential poll “for a harmonious working relationship in the interest of the development of the country as we believe that electioneering periods are over and it is time for all hands to be on deck.”
