Africa-Press – Nigeria. The lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon James Faleke, has said the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, deserves an offer of first refusal from the party for the 2023 presidential election.
Faleke stated this on Saturday, while speaking during the official inauguration of State Steering Committees by the Tinubu Support Group in Abuja.
He described Tinubu as the man with the magic wand to lead the country out of the woods.
“To secure the votes of the majority in 2023, we must present a candidate who knows where the shoe pinches the average Nigerian, not just because he has been there, but because, as the governor of the most difficult, most complex state in Nigeria, he put smiles on the faces of the poor by convincing the rich to join the government to chase poverty from the streets.
“That man is Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Asiwaju of Lagos. He is already our national leader. By the practice and standards in other climes, when the issue of raising a presidential candidate is on the burner, such a personality should be given the right of first refusal,” Faleke said
