Many women and youths from across the nineteen northern states in Nigeria Friday converged on Abuja in support of the All Progressives Congress, APC National leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, demanding his adoption as the consensus candidate of the party in the forthcoming Presidential election.
They said Tinubu is the only person fit and capable among all those that have been declaring their intention to turn around the economy of the country.

Led by Yakubu Dauda, they said the APC Youth and Women in the 19 Northern States of the federation have been actively involved in the activities of the party through several ways that have positioned the party firmly in the hearts of the people.
He said, “We wish to inform Mr President that we have also been actively mobilizing support for the party at the grassroots levels across the 19 northern states in preparation for the 2023 general elections.
“Mr President, in the course of our daily engagements, across the northern states, we have been inundated with an astronomical level of support for the presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“His acceptance level amongst the grassroots is phenomenal. One might be tempted to think he has his origin from the North.
“As a group with a vast network amongst youths and women in the 19 northern states in the county, including the Federal Capital Territory, we can say without fear or favour that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is widely accepted as the prime candidate for our great party in the coming 2023 general elections.
“This is on the heels that he has been able to build bridges across the country in service to the country and humanity through ways too numerous to mention” he added.
The group said that after extensive deliberations and consultations, the APC Youth and Women in the 19 Northern states, including the federal capital territory, have elected to adopt Tinubu as the consensus presidential candidate of the APC in the 2023 general elections.
