The campaign of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu received a boost in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital when the Director for Contact and Mobilisation, South-West of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Alhaji Mutiu Are, led campaign directors from the six States in South-West to inspect and take possession of a two-storey edifice donated as secretariat for the campaign council by a supporter of Tinubu, who chooses not to be recognised.

The edifice is located at the popular Obafemi Awolowo Way, Oke Bola, a few meters away from the residence of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

The magnificent building has about 15 rooms for offices, waiting rooms, stores, canteen and parking space.

Speaking with journalists after inspecting the house, Are, who expressed satisfaction with the quality, location and suitability of the building, said he was contacted by the donor who told him that he was supporting the campaign for Tinubu’s Presidency purely because of his belief that Tinubu would run a government that would bring greater peace, unity and prosperity to every part of Nigeria.

Are said he was really moved by the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the donor who does not want to be named and was still evidently mobilising people across the country in support of the Tinubu-Shettima presidential ambition.

The building, according to the Director, would serve as the South West Secretariat for the Tinubu-Shettima Campaign, helping in enhanced organisation and expansion of the activities of the campaign council to enable it attend more effectively with myriads of support groups, associations and volunteers, daily indicating interests in the Tinubu Presidential bid.

“This beautiful edifice has been donated by one of the strongest believers in the Tinubu dream to aid the Contact and Mobilization Committee in the South West Region.

“We have just inspected the building. We have also done sundry checks on it and we found it excellent in all aspects.”

“The location, here,Oke Bola, close to the residence of our great leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, is symbolic. You know of all the candidates, it is only Bola Tinubu that has been consistently unswerving as a progressive politician. He has been for all his life following the footsteps of Chief Awolwo, playing progressive and development politics.”

“Now having our South West campaign secretariat nearby Awolowo house is very exciting. My committee members and I are fascinated about it. This building is suitable for the purposes of our campaigns. We are very grateful to the donor,” he said.
