Member of the house of representatives, James Faleke, has urged the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, to run for president in 2023.
The lawmaker representing Ikeja federal constituency at the green chamber made the call on Saturday in Abuja at the unveiling of the former Lagos governor’s legacies and inauguration of state steering committees of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG).
Faleke said: “This is a man who left office in 2007 yet remains popular till today because he is focused, consistent and persistent,”
“He has been the central figure in Nigerian politics.”

He added: “We have discovered a man who is ready to sacrifice all he has for his fatherland,”
“A man who had comfortable control of the entire south-west and six solid governors yet threw everything into the alliance with President Muhammadu Buhari with 12 million votes but with one governor to build a new pan-Nigerian party of his dream.
“A man who ran a state that gave opportunities to citizens for appointive and elective positions on merit, without regard for their religion, ethnicity or class.
“The TSG was set up by all of us who believe that only Asiwaju bola Tinubu has the divine gift to continue the progressive strides of President Muhammadu Buhari and put to shame to the design of the enemies of Nigeria, who conspire to sponsor rebellion and insecurity to checkmate the anti-corruption war launched by the APC administration.

“In the same way, Asiwaju fought corruption with technology and native intelligence in Lagos state, we are convinced that he has all it takes to lead us to further the journey to a greater Nigeria already embarked upon under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC.
“On behalf of the millions of supporters of Tinubu Support Group, we are calling on our national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to formally announce his presidential aspiration.”
