According to Olatunji Bello, the commissioner for environment and water resources for the state of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, is a rare legend and God’s extraordinary gift to Nigeria. People of his kind don’t typically come around in generations.
Bello urged Nigerians who value progress to work tirelessly to ensure that Tinubu’s exceptional gifts do not escape the country while speaking to the thronging members of the Mainland Independent Network in Lagos.
The cornerstone of Tinubu’s political philosophy and decades-long struggle, he remarked, has been for the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
He praised the campaign team and urged its members to use all effort in enlisting voters in support of Tinubu and Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-progressive Olu’s causes.
In contrast to the 2019 presidential election, in which Lagos State recorded one of the lowest voter turnouts in the entire federation despite having one of the highest concentrations of registered voters in the federation, Bello challenged them to also ensure that they obtain their PVC and turn out in large numbers to vote.
According to him, this cannot happen again at this pivotal time when progressive Nigerians and Diaspora citizens frantically look to Tinubu as the Messiah, divinely appointed to free the oppressed and lead the country to heights unheard of in its history.
Under the auspices of the Mainland Independent Group (MIG), a sociopolitical pressure group with its headquarters in Lagos and Tunji Bello as its patron, members of the group are drawn from several local governments throughout the state.
Speaking at the impressively well-attended meeting, MIG’s leader and founder, Alhaji Ibrahim Alao Megida, took the chance to thank Tunji Bello, the group’s patron, for not only having the idea that resulted in the creation of the independent campaign network, but also for using all of the resources at his disposal to support the campaign group’s vigorous push for state-wide mobilization.
Abiodun Folajimi, an industrialist and economist, Chief Abiodun Kaka, Dr. Adetoun Adenuga, a senior academic at UNILAG, Imam Yahya Sulaiman, market vendors and artisans were among the other speakers.
