Bisi Akande, the first interim Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, has agreed to prevail on Tinubu to declare his intention
to run for the presidency in 2023.
Bisi Akande announced the decision when members of the
Southwest Agenda for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu(SWAGA) met with the elder
statesman in his home at Ila, Osun State.
The SWAGA team went to felicitate with Bisi Akande on his
82nd birthday but during the visit, they brainstormed with him on the state of
the nation, particularly the push for presidential zoning to the region.
The group, led by Senator Dayo Adeyeye, specifically requested the former APC Interim National Chairman to prevail on the former Lagos State governor to run.
With Adeyeye were coordinators of the group from the six
Southwest states of Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Lagos, and other party
chieftains.
Adeyeye, who explained the vision of the group to the party
elder, said the nation will benefit immensely from Tinubu, if he succeeds
President Muhammadu Buhari at the expiration of his second term.
However, Bisi Akande commended the efforts of the group and
their selflessness in tasking themselves to mobilize and travel round the zone
in pursuit of the patriotic cause.
He prayed for the delegation and assured the members of his
total commitment to their cause.
The former Osun State governor pledged to support the
group’s efforts by visiting prominent Yoruba elders to explain its mission to
them.
He also promised to assist them to propagate the
desirability, suitability, and viability of Tinubu’s candidature in the 2023
presidential race.
Akande reiterated his support for zoning and rotational
principle, saying that power should shift to Southwest in 2023.
