According to Saleh, power belongs to the people, and that power is in the voters’ cards to elect experienced politicians.

“Running a country like Nigeria is not a child’s play; you must possess requisite exposition to run Nigeria,” he said.

Saleh assured that he is not against a young Nigerian becoming the next president. But he insisted the country at the moment requires an experienced person like Tinubu.

Usman also harped on the current situation in Nigeria to sing Tinubu’s praises.

He said that all hands should be on deck to ensure that persons who have reached the voting age register and vote for a good leader in 2023.

The national coordinator of the group, Abdulhakeem Adegoke, said Tinubu has the capacity to rescue Nigerians from the current suffering.

“We know his capacity to change the scenario; his capacity to change things from negative to positive. He has done it in Lagos State,” he said.
