A pro-Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu group, the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA’23) believes that President Muhammadu Buhari would not betray the national leader of the party in the latter’s ambition to succeed him (Buhari) in 2023.
SWA-GA is a political platform promoting the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Tinubu for the 2023 Presidency.
Recall that then Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) contested for the presidency in 2003, 2007 and 2011 losing on the three occasions to the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
However, his alliance with Tinubu gave birth to the APC in 2013, on whose platform Buhari contested again in 2015 and won.
Speaking in an interview, a former member of the House of Representatives who is the Secretary of SWAGA, Mr. Bosun Oladele, said he believed that President Buhari, as a man of honour and integrity, would repay Tinubu’s good gestures if he decides to contest in 2023.
Said he, “The president has been a man of honour and integrity. At least, people say he doesn’t betray his own.
“So, if that is the case, I don’t see him betraying Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. And if I become as old as the President, in my advanced age, the only important thing that I should be chasing is when posterity will judge me.

“That is the most important thing that should occur to anybody that is advanced in age because it is only the grace of God that has given each person that advancement in age. So, if we have that grace, we must not waste it. A man’s word should be his bond”.
When asked who the group would back if the ticket for the APC primary was a two-horse race between Tinubu and the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who is alleged to interested in succeeding President Buhari , Oladele said the group would stick with Tinubu.
