Tinubu announced his interest in to contest for the post of president in January 2022 and has begun consultation since then
The director-general of the Bola Tinubu Support Group Council, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has announced that no fewer than 14 Governors and 24 state Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have endorsed the presidential aspiration of the party’s national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Jibrin, a former member of the House of Representatives from Kano State, who lost his return to the House in 2019 after controversy surrounded his commitment to the party recently emerged into the political reckoning to promote the aspiration of Tinubu.
Jubrin, who tweeted on Friday as part of his campaign to advance Tinubu’s aspiration, however, did not reveal who the governors or state chairmen were. But he noted that four additional Governors have also begun talks to join the presidential train.
Tinubu announced his interest in to contest for the post of president in January 2022 and has begun consultation since then.
He has returned to the United Kingdom for medical treatment but his over 100 support groups, headed by Jubrin have not soft-pedalled on their quest to deepen his reach to emerge as APC presidential flag bearer.
In a tweet to announce the numbers of politically elected leaders and those managing parties across the states on the platform of the APC, who have endorsed Tinubu, Jubrin said, “14 Governors in and 4 in talks. 26 State Chairmen in. We will not attack or stop anybody from contesting.”
He tweeted further that, “We are exercising our right of choice by promoting Alhaji Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Do same for yours PLS. We will remain gracious and our doors open now and after the victories.”
