Nwankodu said that the choice of Tinubu was also premised on the sterling records of his achievements, especially in the areas of human development, democracy and peacebuilding.
He noted that Tinubu’s detribalised nature is second to none, judging from the composition of his government as Lagos state governor, which he said encompassed all tribes.
The national coordinator, however, cautioned those against Tinubu’s quest for the nation’s presidency.
He said that the BAT-GV was formed as a support group in 2019, having collapsed the Buhari/Osinbajo Governance Continuity Agenda ( BOGCA), after winning the presidential elections that year.
