While reiterating his support for the APC Presidential candidate, Alhaji Nasiru Shehu-Bodinga has announced that Nigerians will be reaping the abundant dividends of democracy if Senator Bola Tinubu is elected as President in 2023.
He stated this on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

According to him, Tinubu is “an achiever, trailblazer, bridge builder, and a patriot. The statesman urged Nigerians, irrespective of any religious, political, or ethnic backgrounds, should massively vote for Tinubu in 2023.
“If the APC presidential flag-bearer emerges as President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor, he will live above board. Tinubu will certainly sustain and consolidate the tangible myriad of achievements of Buhari and even surpass him.
“He massively transformed Lagos State as its two-term governor, and he was very active and committed as a former Senator.
“This is because he will be a president for all Nigerians and his penchant for even national development is unparalleled,” Shehu-Bodinga said.
On the 2022 Democracy Day, the candidate said that democracy had fared well in the last 23 years, despite some glaring formidable odds.
“Democracy remains the best form of government, and it has trudged on in Nigeria, and this should be sustained.”
Shehu-Bodinga urged Nigerians who are yet to get their PVCs to do so, saying, “it is the best weapon to use in democracy and nobody should disenfranchise himself or herself.”
In another report, the Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has lambasted the immediate past president of its Lagos State chapter, Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, for claiming that the apex Igbo body had dumped Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
It revealed that there had just been a change in Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership in Lagos State with the election of a new executive led by Chief Sunday Ossai and said that the maker of such a deceptive claim was motivated by personal gain.
Solomon Ogbonna allegedly tried to violate the socio-cultural organization’s constitution by attempting to extend his four-year term, according to a statement released by Dr. Alex Ogbonnia, national publicity secretary, in Enugu yesterday.
