The immediate past Chairman of the Revenue Mobilization and
Fiscal Commission (RMFC), Engr. Elias Mbam has declared that the All
Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands
out from other candidates for the 2023 election.
Mbam, who is the South-East Director, Support Group
Coordination Directorate for the Ahmed Bola Tinubu/Kashim Shettima 2023
presidential project, said it is so easy to market Tinubu to the electorate.
Speaking, weekend, in Enugu at a town hall meeting with
coordinators of support groups in the South-east geo-political zone of the
country, he insisted that the APC candidate would replicate the achievements he
made in Lagos as governor between 1999-2007.
He urged the people of the South-East to vote massively for
Tinubu as he was the only one with the capacity to set the country on the right
path.
He explained that the town hall meeting was organised so as
to acquaint the support groups in the Southeast with their roles in the
electoral process, share experiences and formulate the best approach to
actualize their objectives.
“The support groups drive the process. In other words, the
failure or success in an election is determined mainly by the success or
failure of the support groups.
“We are lucky that we have a good product in the person of
Tinubu and Shettima and would therefore be easy to market. We all have a duty
to drive this process successfully,” he stated.
In his speech, a chieftain of APC and former Speaker of the
Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Acho Ihim, had counselled the support groups
not to be confrontational with people who abuse or criticise Bola Tinubu on
social media, rather, they should always apply convincing mechanisms.
Ihim pointed out that in America and other advanced climes,
age was not considered in choosing a presidential candidate, stressing that
what mattered most was whether the individual seeking the office had the
capacity to deliver if given the mandate.
He said, “for Tinubu to win in the South-East will depend on
how the support group members market his candidacy and the APC in the zone.
“When people are insulting your principal Tinubu in the
social media, don’t go into a social media war with them, rather, calm down and
engage them in a way they will be convinced and become Tinubu supporters.
“Remind them about the total transformation Lagos State went
through under Tinubu’s watch, in 1999- 2007.
“Tinubu is a patriotic and detribalized Nigerian, who has
touched many lives, irrespective of tribe or religion.”
