The City Boys Movement has said what Nigeria needs now is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s doggedness in moving it from its current state of economic conundrum to greatness.

Hon.

The visit is part of the group’s effort to strengthen and Foster their relationship with all relevant stakeholders towards the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidential election in the Federal capital territory.

The BoT while speaking at the Emirs Place noted that the visit will cut across other states of the federation in continuation of further consultation with all necessary stakeholders.

The group highlighed some past achievements of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to include free education, infrastructural development, free medical outreach, and stressed the need to support the APC presidential candidate’s ambition of becoming the President to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, as he is the only aspirant who can change the fortune of Nigeria in the midst of other contestants.

He urged the Emirs and the Emirate to consider the country’s present situation and give their support as royal fathers whose support is paramount in ensuring that Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu becomes the next president of Nigeria at the 2023 general elections.

“Your Highness, we are here on a courtesy visit to intimate you of our presence here in Abuja. We are also here to bring to you and the Emirate, a message of hope for the country from our Principal, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We are here to seek your support because Asiwaju Bola Ahned Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate is an untribalised Nigerian citizen.

“ Tinubu is a dogged goal getter, his doggedness is what led to a new Lagos, giving him a chance as Nigeria’s president is equivalent to giving Nigeria a face lift and rays of hope.

For his part, NCG’s National Chairman, Dr. Bako Abdullahi unveiled the agenda of the group to the royal father, explaining that having considered all candidates that have emerged from political parties’ primaries, Asiwaju Tinubu remains the man with the requisite leadership skills and experience.

Reeling out some of some of Tinubu as Lagos State governor, and even outside of political office , Dr. Abdullahi noted Tinubu set the unprecedented blueprint that the successive governors have continued to enjoy.

Abdullahi also sought the support of the Emirs towards the actualisation of his presidential ambition adding that he is the only man who can lift Nigeria from the current state to a lofty height.

“Your royal highness, we need your support to use your royal voice among our people in your Emirate to support the ambition of Tinubu. He has the best credential among other presidential asoirants. His landmark achievements as governor of Lagos State are there for verification. He is the pathfinder of the infrastructural revolution you see in Lagos today. He set the pace and other follow.

“With Tinubu as the President in 2023, Nigerians are assured of Economic and Infrastructural development. That this country needs now is someone who can revolutionise our country and that is what Tinubu is bringing to the table.
