Former Ogun State governor Olusegun Osoba has urged Nigerians to overlook President Bola Tinubu’s shortcomings as he embarks on his second term.

Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) South West Zone Assembly meeting held in Lagos, Osoba expressed his belief in Tinubu’s capacity to improve and fulfill his promises to the nation.

Osoba emphasized that the Yoruba people stand firmly behind Tinubu’s presidency, asserting their confidence in his leadership.

He remarked, “The Yoruba community is united in support of Tinubu, and we believe he has what it takes to deliver on his commitments during his time in office.”

He further highlighted that it was the collective decision of Nigerians that brought Tinubu to power.

“Bola didn’t just become the President of Nigeria on his own; we made that choice together as a nation,” Osoba stated, reinforcing the idea that the president is accountable to the people who elected him.

The former governor’s comments reflect a strong sense of solidarity among the Yoruba people, as they rally around their leader, urging the public to remain hopeful and supportive as Tinubu settles into his role.

With a commitment to a better future, Osoba’s message seeks to foster unity and confidence in the government as it navigates the challenges ahead.
