Asiwaju is a leader that listens, he'll raise more people– Gbajabiamila

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, asked Nigerians to support Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party's presidential candidate for the year 2023, stressing that Tinubu was approachable and would raise more people.

According to the speaker, Tinubu is still a detribalized leader who has elevated Nigerians from other states to positions of leadership both at the Lagos State level and the level of the Federal Government.

At a rally, Gbajabiamila spoke to the people of the Surulere 2 Federal Constituency's Coker Aguda and Itire Ikate neighborhoods. He recalled how Tinubu promoted Ben Akabueze from the position of commissioner in Lagos to director general of the federal government's budget office despite the fact that Akabueze is from the state of Anambra.

He said: “Asiwaju is someone that anybody can see. He is a leader that listens and tries to attend to all issues. There’s nothing like a leader that listens, a leader you know you can always run to in times of need.

“Asiwaju elevated Ben Akabueze from a commissioner in Lagos to DG of the Budget Office of the federation even when Akabueze is from Anambra state. Ben determines the budget of the whole of Nigeria; no state in Nigeria can parade the number of non-indigenes and non-Yoruba in government like Lagos.

“I can continue to mention many south easterners that have enjoyed the touch of God and Tinubu in their lives. South Easterners and South South people are trading and living in peace in Lagos.“

As he listed the several health, education, and road infrastructure initiatives he helped bring to Surulere 2, Gbajabiamila made notice of the fact that every person, regardless of race or religion, benefits from the advances.
