Tinubu Support Group: No war with SWAGA, Osinbajo
Quick Read
Tinubu Support Group said the report was a malicious campaign to drive a wedge between groups working for Tinubu's 2023 presidency and the Vice President who is yet to declare to contest.
Tinubu Support Group (TSG) said there is no cold war with South West Agenda (SWAGA) and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The Head of Media and Publicity for Tinubu Support Group (TSG), Tosin Adeyanju made this known on Friday while reacting to a report of a “cold war” between TSG, SWAGA, and Osinbajo.
Adeyanju said the report was a malicious campaign to drive a wedge between groups working for Tinubu’s 2023 presidency and the Vice President who is yet to declare to contest.
Adeyanju noted that the conference of Tinubu Support Groups recently held was to identify with groups working for the National Leader of APC and help with policy direction and advice.
Adeyanju reiterated that there is no rift between Tinubu Support Group and SWAGA over harmonization.
According to him, there was no time that it was said that the groups should merge under one leadership.
He added that the publication was a mischievous attempt to drag the Tinubu camp into controversies and urged Nigerians and especially Tinubu’s loyalists not to fall for the mischief.
He said all groups will retain their identity and function and continue to do the work they have started in their various locality.
Adeyanju said: “Our attention has, however, been drawn to a report in an online newspaper alleging that harmonization had worsened a phantom cold war between Tinubu Support Group (TSG) and South West Agenda (SWAGA).
“This is an imagination of the news organization in order to create unnecessary attention. Tinubu Support Group and other support groups are wholly committed to the progressive ideology of the Tinubu political family and we remain focused on the task ahead.
” There has never been and there will never be war in whatsoever form between our group (TSG) and any other support group. Our political family remains and will forever remain strong. And we are staying focused in our commitment to building and maintaining a cohesive political party ambition of our principal,” Adeyanju said.
He added that TSG was formed by the majority of National Assembly members and Tinubu’s political associate in October 2020 and not December 2021 as reported.
Adeyanju also noted that Tinubu maintains a good connection with all those he had mentored including Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
He said: “Our principal already declared to run for Presidency come 2023 and we are optimistic that all those who graduated from his political school of thoughts including the vice President will support his ambition.
“We are not bordered, we are confident and we know that in 2023, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be the President of Nigeria ( By God’s grace).”
