As BAT Support Groups Harmonize, Shettima Claims Niyi Adebayo a Political Son of Asiwaju during his flowery speech eulogizing the kingmaking and godfather capabilities of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu , now widely called Baba Eko as his campaign for president heats up.
The current Minister of Trade & Industry, who was also Governor of Ekiti when Senator Tinubu was Governor of Lagos was absent at the event which was held in Abuja.
Seating in a room full of support groups, that includes Senator Tinubu and Representative Faleke, the former Governor of Borno claimed that the ability of Governor Tinubu to make men is what stands him apart from the other contenders for the position of President.
He further indicated that the current economy has been badly managed by President Buhari, and that Senator Tinubu given his prior experience having left office in 2007 in Lagos, can bring back the magic of that era.
Furthermore, the former Governor indicated that Nigeria was not preparing for Olympics hence do not need an agile leader. Referring to the United States, he recalled a President Roosevelt that on wheelchair and performed, calling on Nigerians to vote for the aging former Governor of Lagos that have had a series of health challenges including a recent extensive operation that saw the President visiting in London.
The atmosphere of the support group event was dogged by the absence of the so called men that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu made, but nonetheless the spirit was high as he sat listlessly among the crowd listening to both Shettima and Faleke eulogize his qualities after a tour of Northwest States that are reportedly lukewarm on his candidacy.
