The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Diaspora has declared support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Presidential candidate of the party, even as 2023 election gathering momentum, while Nigerians continue to deliberate on who the cap fits as the next first citizen of the largest economy in Africa.

This is even as Tinubu Support Organization (TSO) held their meeting on the 2nd of September 2021 in The United Kingdom, pledging their loyalty and support for Asiwaju Tinubu ambition as the next President of Nigeria.

Speaking at the meeting, which was also held virtually, the Director-General of the organization, Hon. Aminu Suleiman said that Tinubu is the chosen one because he is loved across Nigerians, including the northern part of the country.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy Obafemi Hazmat, are fully in support of the movement, “we will provide everything that is needed for this lovely project and the government will respond to all requests as Tinubu achievement is concerned”.

“If our efforts are crowned, Diaspora will not be neglected, they will have a place in the government as their experience and exposure will be needed in Asiwaju’s government”, he said.
