Muktar Betara as leaders whose track records in all facet of life remained unbeatable, worthy for the key roles of the CoS to the President, the Senate President and the House Speaker; when the Tinubu/Shettima administration takes off on May 29.

He vouched for the trio of the aforementioned top positions in the incoming administration, stressing that apart from being role models in the nation’s political landscape, they had successfully stood against the absurdities of life and raised the bar for equity, justice, courage and peace and, therefore, eminently qualified for the recommended positions.

Otunba Odunowo explained that the group’s firm support for the consideration of the trio by the APC leadership was not only in recognition of their patriotism, unflinching loyalty to the party and belief in the unity of Nigeria, but also in appreciation of their sterling qualities of integrity, steadfastness, exemplary leadership and veracity before finding them worthy for this important recommendation.

“We in the AATSG that worked for the success of Asiwaju Tinubu and all APC candidates who vied for elective positions in the recently concluded general elections, thus can beat our chests for the trio of Rt. Hon. Gbajabiamila, Senator Akpabio and Hon. Betara because they are leaders with incredible achievements and we are happy to identify with them as the APC leadership and Nigerians consider them for the key assignments of CoS to the President, Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively.

The recommendation by the Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu Support Group, as illustrated by the Chairman, would the best for the party and the country, for Nigeria to enjoy political stability, progress, unity and socio – economic development.

The APC chieftain, however, slammed the distasteful attempts by some unscrupulous groups and people who were covertly working against the emergence of Rt. Hon. Gbajabiamila, Senator Akpabio and Hon. Betara. He described their activities as efforts bound for failure, knowing full well that the party leadership and Nigerians would not be swayed by their mischief.

He, therefore, invited all those against the choice of Rt. Hon. Gbajabiamila, Senator Akpabio and Hon. Betara, by the AATSG, to have a re-ponder of the qualities of the three leaders and work in harmony with the Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu Support Group to ensure their emergence for the key positions of the CoS to the President, Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively, in the interest of the APC in particular, and National interest in general.

Finally, the Chairman assures Nigerians that the Group will listen to all stakeholders and then vigorously campaign for the three leaders to be chosen for the critical key roles recommended.
