Current and former Speakers of various legislative houses in the South-West geo-political zone have agreed to unite in support of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for 2023 presidency.
The meeting, which was organised by the BAT Foundation, held in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, late Wednesday, with the participants concluding that they all need to collectively project Tinubu ahead of 2023.
Speaking at the meeting, Speaker Obasa said there was need for the body of Speakers and former Speakers to begin the move aimed at projecting the political and humanitarian sides of Tinubu ahead of 2023, adding that the Foundation is primarily created to touch lives, adding in the same vein that the BAT movement is aimed at supporting Tinubu politically.
While clarifying that Tinubu is not involved in the mobilisation, he noted that the motivation was that each of the attendees at the meeting had personal and beneficial relationships with the political leader.
He added that talks were also on-going with leaders from the North-Central geo-political zone and that a meeting would soon be held in Abuja for further discussions.
