A Coalition of 28 support groups, led by Mr Ademola Babatunde of the Youth Arise Movement (YAM), says the challenging situation of the country informed their call for Dr Akinwunmi Adesina as Nigeria’s President come 2023.

Adesina, former Nigeria’s Minister of Agriculture, is currently the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB).

Adesina is yet to declare his intention to contest for the office of the President in the 2023 general elections.

To demonstrate the coalition’s seriousness, however, Babatunde showed a copy of the N100 million payment acknowledgment slip of the All Progressives Congress (APC) issued in the name of Adesina.

Babatunde said the coalition was set to obtain the APC Presidential Nomination and Expression of Interest forms for Adesina on Sunday.

He listed some of the groups obtaining the nomination form as One Nigeria Group, Prudent Youth Association of Nigeria, women groups, farmers, people with disabilities and other civil society groups.

Babatunde, who is a former presidential candidate of the defund Nigeria Community Movement Party (NCMP) in the 2019 presidential election, said that the groups believed in Adesina’s capacity to fix the challenges bedeviling the country.

“We are 28 groups, precisely, that came together after very serious consultations, and deliberations on the way forward for a better and united Nigeria.

“We unanimously decided that though the money is outrageous, but if we truly want a better future for ourselves and our children, we must put our resources together to obtain the forms for Adesina.

“We are very much aware of the critical time that Nigerians and our country, Nigeria, are going through.

“If we fail to support a candidate of credible and worthy note, like Adesina, we will eventually hand over this country to mediocre, who will finally destroy our commonwealth.

“This is one of the supports we are fundamentally and passionately determined to render for ourselves by putting Adesina forward to Nigerians,” he said.

Babatunde said that the coalition was fully ready in the coming days to mobilise its stakeholders and ensure support for Adesina to emerge as the flag bearer of the APC.
