THE Tinubu Support Group says Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu, is trying to divide the All Progressives Congress and Southern Nigeria with his call on the party’s national leader, Bola Tinubu, to forgo his presidential ambition.
The Acting Head of Media and Publicity of TSG, Adeyanju Oluwatosin, made this known yesterday in a statement titled ‘2023: Tinubu project is National Project, TSG tells VON DG’.
“Without a doubt, our Leader has not declared intention to run but we have started seeing patriots across the country calling on him to run because of his leadership qualities.
“Asiwaju is a nationalist known by all Nigerians which is why the majority of the masses have been insisting he must contest. We advise Okechukwu to be a good party man and stop all his antics to divide our great party and southern Nigeria,” the statement read.
Okechukwu had on Sunday said that rather than join the Presidential race, the former Lagos State Governor “should use his abundant endowment to unite the APC, and unite the South and by extension our beloved country, by backing a candidate from the southeast.”
While appreciating the huge contributions of the APC Chieftain, Okechukwu, who was a member of the merger committee that birthed APC, said Tinubu should resist the temptation of political greed.
