Ahead of the 2023 general elections, thousands of support groups for both Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima are about to collapse into a unifying force.
This would be defying the sentiments that was birthed out of the choice of Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate.
According to information over 5000 Support Groups have resolved to merge into an organisation named Tinubu/Shettima Independent Campaign Group (TSICG).

In statement signed by a federal lawmaker, Hon. James Faleke, on the 2nd of August 2022, the TSICG’s main target was grassroots mobilisation and coordination with structures aimed at strengthening the campaign support base from the States through Local Governments, Wards and Polling units.
Faleke’s statement read, “As part of activities aimed at boosting the campaign efforts of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, over 5000 Support Groups have resolved to merge into an organization named Tinubu/Shettima Independent Campaign Group (TSICG).

“The TSICG’s main target is grassroots mobilization and coordination with structures aimed at strengthening the campaign support base from the States through Local Governments, Wards and Polling units.
“Recall that thousands of support groups came together at the International Conference Center, Abuja on January 11, 2022 to endorse Asiwaju Tinubu’s Presidential bid which eventually succeeded at the Primaries.
“Now the same support groups and many more are coming together again under the Chairmanship of APC Chieftain, Senator Abu Ibrahim to work for Tinubu/Shettima’s victory in the 2023 Presidential election.
“Launching arrangements billed to take place within the next few days are being fine-tuned.”
