Adetutu explained in the statement that the group’s backing of Tinubu stems from:
“His clear and demonstrated ability to leverage opportunities crucial to economic well-being, security, and growth.”
She added:
“As the gaze of the world fixes firmly on Africa for new deals, we are presented with a great opportunity to facilitate multilateral agreements that will usher in a new dispensation of growth and prosperity for our youths, farmers, women traders, artisans, and others.
“Asiwaju Tinubu is a clear-eyed and experienced leader. He is not new to global politics and will certainly apply his extensive networks to project Nigeria’s image and strength in what would assuredly be a successful bid to attract needed investments.
“If elected, as he looks set to, Nigerians can expect meaningful and substantive transformation.”
