Asiwaju Tinubu ,who is the former governor of Lagos State has not formally declared he would be contesting but there are insinuations that the APC chieftain would vie for the presidency in 2023.
However, the grassroots mobilisation took SWAGA ‘23 to Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode and Ilaro covering the three Senatorial Districts of Ogun State as the team visited traditional rulers , leaders of NURTW, religious leaders, among others.
Speaking at the event, the members of the group said the South-West region must be allowed to produce the next President of Nigeria in 2023, “to ensure fairness and equity”.
They added that it was high time people of the South-West rediscovered themselves and chart a new political course that will place them in the mainstream of the country’s politics.
