2023: Northern Youths Endorse Tinubu, Carpet El-Rufai Over Zoning

Northern youths under the auspices of United Northern Youth and Students
(UNYS) have endorsed former Lagos State governor and chieftain of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for
Presidency in 2023.

The group also condemned the call by Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai for the abolition of power rotation in the country.

Coordinator
of the youth group, Comrade Jabir Maiturare, who addressed a press
conference in Kaduna on Friday, said Tinubu has contributed immensely to
the North politically, particularly his coordination of the South West
for an overwhelming support that brought about the victory of President
Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 as well as his re-election in 2019.

Maiturare
said: “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.”

The group noted that Tinubu has shown himself as a
man of integrity and a party man to the core, whose efforts and
contribution to the party has produced good results over time.
