As Nigerians set to elect next President come 2023, a non governmental organization, Friends of the Society for Good Governance, has assured that if the APC candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is given the opportunity to be next President, he would set the stage for the youth to take the leadership of Nigeria.
The Director of the NGO, Abeeb Mamud gave the assurance while briefing newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja.

He stressed that ” the candidature of Bola Tinubu will re-kindle hope, peaceful co-existence and the right to be heard in Nigeria”.

In the course of his leadership strides, he invested in different personalities, he was able to create a poll of competent leaders over the years which has confirmed his position as the indefatigable leader of the South West region,” Mamud said.
