THE South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA’23) a political group set up to campaign for the 2023 presidential ambition of the former governor of Lagos Bola Ahmed Tinubu has finally berthed in Lagos. This is after it had been going around other parts of the country, spreading the message of its mission.
Led by former Minister of works, Senator Dayo Adeyeye, the group had earlier inaugurated the chapters in Osun, Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti states after its regional inauguration held in Ibadan, last December 15.
“With serious determination to succeed, Lagos shall stand still for Swaga 23,” said Senator Adeyeye, also a former media adviser to the late businessman-politician and presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola.
It will be recalled that notable traditional rulers in South West such as the Ooni of Ife, the Alaafin of Oyo, Olubadan of Ibadan, Alake of Egba, Olu of Ilaro, Akarigbo of Remo, Ataoja of Osogbo, Deji of Akure, Oluwo of Iwo, Osemawe of Ondo, Olukare of Ikare had received the group at different times across the states.
Adeyeye said that the traditional rulers in their individual capacities received his group well, and prayed for the success of its mission.
According to a statement by the group, “all members of the SWAGGA Central Working Committee including the Deputy Chairman Sen. Soji Akanbi, Sen. Gbenga Obadara, Sen Tony Adeniyi, Hon.
