Tinubu was governor of Lagos state from 1999 to  2007.

According to Tinubu-Ojo, Lagos is a mini Nigeria, and haven  governed the state excellently, the APC candidate will surely excel as president of Nigeria.

She said  the candidate was best positioned to consolidate on achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and also improve on areas where there were still challenges.

“The present government has done well in many areas, but there is still much to be done. Tinubu’s presidency will surely consolidate on present achievements and improve in other areas ,” she said.

Earlier, the Director-General of Tinubu Vanguard, Dr Benjamin Johnny, said the quest for a better Nigeria was the reason behind the group.

Johnny said that Nigeria needed the experience of a leader like Tinubu to tackle present economic and security challenges.

He said  the choice of Tinubu-Ojo as grand patroness was informed by her proven passion for service to humanity in her role as Iyaloja.

“Tinubu is now a father to all Nigerian progressives who see him as a symbol of excellence and service delivery, and we are committed to ensuring his success at the polls, ” he said.
