A northern youth group, known as United Northern Youth and Students (UNYS) has started to mobilize support for the National leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2023 Presidential contest.Speaking to new men in Kaduna yesterday, August 16, Coordinator of the UNYS, Jabir Maiturare, said that the group had already thrown weight behind Tinubu should he seeks to contest for the presidency in four years time.
“Let it be known that Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu has not declared to contest for any position yet. Instead, he is solidly behind President Muhammadu Buhari and giving him the required support. “In any case, whenever he seeks to contest for any position, including the presidency in 2023, we are ready to give him overwhelming support, and we therefore dissociate ourselves from such irresponsible act of some minority youth from the North.
“In the same vein, we wish to state categorically that Governor Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai’s statement against the zoning arrangement in place is uncalled for, and should not be given any serious thought because he speaks only for himself and not for the North.”
