A group of politicians from the National Assembly and grassroots leaders have reaffirmed their dedication to rallying support for the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu as the right presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, who they believe will uphold true federalism.
Meeting in Lagos yesterday, the group which identifies as the South-West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) expressed confidence that Tinubu is the right candidate to emerge from the South-west for 2023 presidential elections, owing to his past record of identifying persons with true leadership skills.
According to the Chairman of the group, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye, the APC leader has shown over time that he is for everyone. He gave an instance of when Tinubu was the governor of Lagos State, stating that he was fair to all groups.

Led by Dayo Adeyeye, a former minister of state for works, the group said they were at the palace to seek support for the 2023 presidential ambition of Tinubu.
Soji Akanni, a former senator from Oyo state; Rotimi Makinde, a former member of the house of representatives; Oyetunde Ojo, an in-law of Bola Tinubu, were in the delegation that also visited the palace of Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadan.
While addressing the monarchs at their palaces, Adeyeye said Tinubu has the capacity to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
