The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Movement (BAT), a support group of the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed, has collapsed its structure to join Tinubu Support Group (TSG) in order to ensure the realisation of the former Lagos state governor’s 2023 presidential ambition.
The National Coordinator, Ambassador Aliyu Lawal Saulawa, on Sunday in Abuja, said the organisation decided to join forces with TSG in the interest of Nigerians and youths in particular.
He spoke when him and the group’s National Secretary led some members of his organisation on a courtesy visit to Tinubu Support Group campaign office in Abuja.
Saulawa said that BAT Movement which was birthed as a support group for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, resolved to collapse it’s structure and join forces with Tinubu Support Group in order to work for the total actualisation of Tinubu’s Presidential ambition.
“We are in support of Asiwaju’s political ideology which has made us to trust and want to work for him as we have mobilisers across the federation who serve as our foot soldiers.
“It is obvious that elections are actually won at the grassroots, and that is our strength, from where we are going to start working,” he said.
Mohammed, however, noted that the former Lagos state governor has done well to be trusted to lead Nigeria to a greater height.
He stressed that his organisation would be ready and willing to work and carry out any responsibility that may be assigned to it, in the propagation of Asiwaju’s political ambition
Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, Member representing Ikeja Federal constituency, who received the group, said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu had done so well in the development of Lagos state.
He added that Asiwaju had, to a large extent, invested in people without minding their origin.
“It is now our responsibility to give him the required support by electing him as the President of Nigeria in 2023, so that he will continue the good work God has assigned him to do.
“Asiwaju’s ambition should be a collective effort irrespective of our political affiliations, tribe and standings in the society so that he can continue to reflect Lagos achievement on Nigeria generally,“ he said.
He commended the National Coordinator of the BAT Movement for seeing reasons why his group should join forces with Tinubu Support Group towards the realisation of Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
