2023 ELECTIONS: PRO-TINUBU SUPPORT GROUP TRAINS OVER A THOUSAND WOMEN ON VOTING, EMPOWERS THEM WITH WELFARE PACKAGES ®™√ INN Nigeria © 9997ujnmmk4060182786710246893 South-West Agenda for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also known as SWAGA '23, held a pre-election training program for women in Lagos State on the 20th of February 2023. The event which also doubled as an empowerment procedure to assist mothers took place at the Surulere local government secretariat. Administrative female leaders of the pro-APC group filed out in their numbers to execute the generous and educative program, hosted by the executive chairman of Surulere local government, Hon. Sulaiman Bamidele Yusuf. The chairman, in his remarks, thanked the women's group for promoting the laudable program which adds value to the lives of women in Lagos State as the nation prepares for the election. He also explained that young fellows need to be educated about the leadership qualities of the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. As stated by Hon. Bamidele, "There are a lot of millennials who were not yet born during the governorship tenure and administrative era of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu". "They are unaware that he once ran the affairs of Lagos State, they have insufficient or no knowledge of his dispositions and accomplishments". "That's why we need to create platforms that will educate them candidly about Asiwaju" He explained. Outlining the program course, anchored by the faction's head of publicity, Aarebirin Honourable (Dr) Princess Folashade Olabanji-Oba, seized the medium to appreciate the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabimilla, who's also representing Surulere constituency 1, for his leadership gaits and obligation to nation-building. According to Folashade-Oba, the National Chairman of the Association of local government Vice-Chairmen of Nigeria (ALGOVC) and vice-chairman of Ikorodu local government, the program is themed 'Voters Training', with a No PVC No Entry policy. She continued, "It is just not training alone, we also packaged palliative for the women to make them understand that we truly care for them in this struggling time of our nation". "One of the integrity of good governance is empowerment, so we're standing in the gap to reach out to women in the neighbourhood amidst the naira scarcity" Folashade-Oba asserted Hon. Ayo Omidiran, SWAGA National Women Leader, extolled the strength of motherhood felt among the women present, urging them to continue in their show of support for the All Progressive Congress (APC). "The training part of this program is to ensure there is no wastage of votes as we count down to the elections". "We have a lot of women here today, coming to represent their numerous populations. After the training, we're sure they'll take the wealth of knowledge ascertained back to their communities" Hon. Omidiran asserted. Also speaking to Ikorodu News Network (INN) Mr Oyetunde Ojo, SWAGA Chairman in Lagos State, clarified that the program is launched to orientate women on the forthcoming elections, while also using the medium to appreciate them for their passion and commitment towards the growth of the entire Nigeria political spectrum. He noted, "Without any doubt, this is about having at the back of their minds that on the 25th of February and 11th of March, they should all come out and vote for the ruling party (APC)". "A vote for Asiwaju is a vote for a renewed Nigeria, and a vote for Governor Sanwo-Olu is a vote for a Lagos Rising". "It is about settling every APC flag-bearing candidate at the rear of their psyches, getting on into the elections" Hon. Oyetunde cited. At the high point of the program, over one thousand women were presented with bags of welfare packages and enveloped cash prizes.

ELECTION 2023: BOLA TINUBU 4 PRESIDENT 2023 SUPPORT GROUP STORMS IKORODU DIVISION, URGE MONARCHS TO GALVANISE VOTERS FOR APC CANDIDATES ®™√ INN Nigeria © 93o3kennm1981611413327069210 With an appraisal of 7.1 million voters registered in Lagos, the private pro-tinubu denomination took its southwest crusade back to the centre of excellence. The sixth stop of the Bola Tinubu 4 President 2023 support group's roadshow, took the faction to Ikorodu division, known as Nigeria's 12th largest city. The waterbed region went agog on the 28th of January 2023, as the campaign strength of the group, playing music and distributing colourful souvenirs was felt massively. Ikorodu division, which is made up of Igbogbo Baiyeku, Imota, Ijede, Ikorodu North, Ikorodu West and Ikorodu LG was lengthened out and thoroughly cruised by the group on a Saturday that saw the first rain downpour in 2023. Like comparable experiences in Ojo, Bariga, Oshodi, Isolo and Somolu provinces, residents and business owners in Ikorodu were soul-lifted in excitement, as the 2023 presidential election draws near (to a crescendo on February 25th). They extensively sounded the alarm for residents who are eligible voters but have yet to possess their PVCs to do so. Speaking with Ikorodu News Network (INN) at the palace of the Obateru of Egbin kingdom, Mr Fola Tinubu, DG - Vice-chairman, disclosed the faction's cravings to reach 6 other regions dispersed across southwest Nigeria before the election. According to Fola Tinubu, with 7.1 million registered voters in Lagos state, the organisation returned to the state, clamouring for more dwellers to take advantage of the open window provided by INEC. He continued, "If we can ascertain over 4 million voters from our loyal party base, it will give victory to all our flag-bearing candidates from the state to the national level". Channelling his remarks of appreciation to the Obateru of Egbin Kingdom, Fola Tinubu urged the king to ensure that youths with PVC do not play football on election day, rather they should put their cards to use. "Kabiesi, this time around, we must make sure that our people play an active part in the electoral process to vehemently support all our hardworking candidates". "It is our sixth stop so far in the roadshow which started in the 3rd quarter of 2022, and we've has alighted Ondo, Ekiti, Osun and Ogun states, we look forward to reaching other regions before the elections" Fola Tinubu asserted HRM, Oba Adeoriyomi Oluwasesan Abudul-Akeem, Obateru of Egbin Kingdom, in his statements, explained that all the kings across the division held a meeting with Governor Sanwo-Olu at the state house, and they resolved to make sure that out of the 7.1 million registered voters, they're aiming to gain over 5 million. According to HRM, "On a personal note, I've been an enthusiastic follower of Bola Tinubu since 2002". Kabiesi continued, "As far as my kingdom and household are concerned, it is APC all the way". "I've also reached out to all the wards with the support that should aid their voting process" He added. The Obateru of Egbin Kingdom has been on the throne for 13 years. Receiving the group, the king was also chaperoned by his Olori and chiefs. It was gathered that the denomination was also received by the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, HRM, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, who has always hurled his support behind the presidential ambition of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

MASSIVE TURNOUT AS SOUTHWEST YOUTHS RALLY IN LAGOS TO ENDORSE TINUBU, APC NATIONAL LEADER UNFOLDS AGENDA TO RESTORE HOPE, BUILD NEW NATION WITH YOUNG PEOPLE ®™√ INN Nigeria © fb img 1650168694441529934971911665174 A movement of youths across the Southwest region, on Saturday, took a powerful stand ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primaries slated for next month. The young people, in their thousands, converged on Lagos State to endorse the presidential aspiration of the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Mobolaji Johnson Sports Arena in Onikan was filled to the brim, as a mammoth crowd of youths under the aegis of Progressive Youth of Southwest declared and pledged their support for Tinubu, whom they described as a “contender with a clear vision and high capacity”. Tinubu’s vision for growth and development, the youths said, has been experimented with within Lagos, taking a city in distress in 1999 to envious heights of economic prosperity. The political rally was organised at the instance of all the youth leaders of the party across the region. The rally was joined by various other youth groups, including young House of Assembly members across the Southwest states, National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) chairmen in the Southwest, Joint Campus Committees (JCCs) of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), National Union of Lagos State Students (NULAS) and youth arms of various ethnic nationalities in the Southwest and indigenous communities. Also, hip-hop artists and Fuji musicians were at the rally to show solidarity for Tinubu, entertaining the crowd with various endorsement songs. Comic youth preacher, Oluwatoyin Bayegun, popularly known as Woli Arole, and his colleague actor, Asiri (Damilare Osundare), compered the event. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu gave a hint on what the youths should expect when Tinubu is elected president, noting that the APC leader had been a passionate supporter of youths. Aside from giving opportunities to youths to flourish in their areas of activity, the Governor said young people would be part of the major drivers of the Tinubu presidency. Sanwo-Olu, accompanied by his Deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, and other cabinet members, gave a thumbs up to the conveners for what he called “an overwhelming support” shown at the rally. The massive crowd, the Governor said, was an indication of the firm belief in the competence and capability of Tinubu to lead in the next political dispensation. The Governor said: “I thank our teeming youths across the Southwest for coming to declare this overwhelming support and endorsement for your great leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to become the next president. Asiwaju is the only person who will ensure the youth stand as stakeholders in the next Government. “The endorsement you give to our leader is one step towards the realisation of the Tinubu 2023 project. The most important step is to turn out bigger at the delegate election and complement your support with votes for Asiwaju to win the party’s nomination as presidential flag bearer. Come next year, by the grace of Almighty, we will all be going together for Asiwaju’s inauguration in Abuja as elected president.” Tinubu described the support rally as “massive”, saying he would show gratitude for the endorsement by working hard to positively change the story of the country for young people. The APC National Leader said young people could no longer continue the lamentation of the past but must brace themselves to work for a new nation that would have limitless opportunities and possibilities. The youths, Tinubu said, must eschew politics of bitterness and disunity, urging them to lend themselves to projects initiated to change the story of the nation for good. Tinubu said: “I am here, not for myself, but for you and our collective future which our youths represent. We feel your anger whenever you are angry; I will never blame you for that. The promises of the past have not done enough to help you build a future from the onset. But, I disagree with the excuses that we cannot help it; we can help it. All you need is courage, determination and perseverance. You must develop a can-do attitude; you must have the grit and determination to change the story of poverty and banditry. “We cannot continue the lamentation of the past. We have to brace up for a new Nigeria. You have to be ready for the task ahead. If you have no voter card, go and get it. If you have it, go for a revalidation of your card. You cannot be part of 1.4 billion youths using Instagram and have no PVC to vote. The youths are the reason why I am here to contest. I want to be president for you all; commit yourselves to this project and drive me there. “All we have to do is to build a united Nigeria. When we started in Lagos, we used to pick up dead bodies on the streets. Today, Lagos is one of the most progressive States. We can build a new Nigeria, where prosperity will not be isolated and limited to the family of the poor. A united Nigeria is our dream, a free Nigeria is our commitment and a violence-free Nigeria is what we promise we will hand over to you.” APC National Youth leader, Dayo Israel, said the youths had the choice to make in deciding who becomes the next president but said their choice must be given to a leader who had been tested and could be trusted for progressive leadership. Lagos APC Youth Leader, Dr Murtala Seriki, said Tinubu had impacted various homes, with the brand of programmes he initiated while he governed Lagos. Seriki urged the youths to sustain their support for the presidential hopeful, noting that young people would not regret their decision to queue behind Tinubu in the next general elections. Leo Obasi, Ndi Igbo Youth Leader in Lagos, described Asiwaju as “a unifying factor, detribalised politician”. “Such leader must be given the chance to lead the nation and foster unity,” Obasi said.

PHOTOS AS SPEAKER OBASA, LAWMAKERS GET CERTIFICATE OF RETURN, LEGISLATORS THANK LAGOSIANS FOR MANDATE ®™√ INN Nigeria © 94o3k3kkekem4170277452452899701 The Speaker of the Lagos Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa and other lawmakers-elect received their Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday promising to ensure a greater Lagos at the 10th Assembly. "On behalf of my colleagues, we will continue to build on the success of the current Assembly when we resume for the 10th Assembly. We want to assure Lagosians that we will continue to make laws and pass motions and resolutions that will bring progress to Lagos and protect the interests of residents. "That's the assurance that I have from the 39 other members-elect," Dr Obasa told journalists at the event which had Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat in attendance. A total of 38 lawmakers-elect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and two from the opposition received their Certificate of Return. The Speaker thanked his constituents in Agege and Lagosians for their support for the APC. "I thank my people in Agege for their consistency, loyalty and support at all times. And to Lagosians, we say thank you. At least APC has 38 lawmakers-elect out of the 40 for the House of Assembly. We have three senatorial seats and a whole lot in the House of Representatives. We are very happy about this and have reasons to thank Lagosians. "We are going to support the Governor in his assignments to bring growth and progress to Lagos State as well as protect the lives and property of our people. However, supporting the executive arm does not mean we are going to compromise or abandon our constitutionally guaranteed responsibilities," Obasa said. He expressed optimism that Lagos will benefit from the centre in the next administration because "we have a President-elect that we all have absolute confidence in and who had done very well in Lagos State with a good track record. "We are sure that with him, many of our national challenges would be resolved because he has the capacity and knowledge to deliver. I do not doubt in my mind about it."

TINUBU @71: WHY PRESIDENT-ELECT IS GOD’S GIFT TO NIGERIA – OBASA ®™√ INN Nigeria © img 20230330 wa00028587412206409722933 Nigeria's President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is one of God's gifts to Nigeria, the most populous black nation on earth, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has said. Dr Obasa said this in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Eromosele Ebhomele, congratulating Tinubu who clocked 71 on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. The Speaker said Tinubu, a puzzle too hard to crack', equates with great men around the world whose stories show great passion and undying love for their countries and citizens. According to him, the recent presidential election won by Asiwaju Tinubu is icing on the cake for the President-elect, who has never shied away from being of service to God and humanity. The Speaker recalled the sacrifice Tinubu made to take Nigeria back from the military and entrench democracy in the country, noting how difficult it is to find individuals with such a level of patriotism. "For a man, whose thought at all times is about salvaging the country from economic and social bondage, victory at the recent polls came at the right time. "There is no way Nigeria's political story can be written without Asiwaju featuring prominently as a result of the positive roles he played before the current democratic dispensation and up till this moment. "We believe that Almighty Allah has a reason for giving him to us in Nigeria, especially at this time of the nation's journey. We do not doubt his capacity to deliver. He has done it before. "With a birthday that comes exactly two months to his oath-taking as President of Nigeria, it is not out of place to say Asiwaju is a blessing to us, one sent to put things right and lay the foundation upon which modern Nigeria would be built. "On behalf of my family, members, staff and management of the Lagos State House of Assembly, I congratulate our dear Asiwaju on his 71st birthday and pray that Allah continues to favour him with vitality, good health and wisdom to navigate our country out of the woods, amin," Obasa prayed.

He continued, "Relevant institutions must create access to low-interest funds for entrepreneurs to access while there is a need for MSMEs to scale up their production to meet local and export needs". "I also want to advise the Government to create a three-year pre-retirement entrepreneurship/investment window to transform public servants into entrepreneurs", he stated. In his brief address, the Vice-Chancellor, of Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Professor Olumuyiwa Odusanya averred that the Trade Fair is an opportunity to grow the economy of the Ikorodu Division.
