A former governor of Ogun state, Olusegun Osoba, has pleaded with Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Tinubu.

In a viral post sighted on the X platform on Sunday, key political leaders from the region reflected on the pivotal role they played in the political rise of President Bola Tinubu.

Osoba, during the assembly, underscored the strategic decision taken by South West leaders in 2007 to elevate Tinubu from state-level politics in Lagos to the national political arena.

“Seventeen years ago, in 2007, after his tenure as the governor of Lagos State, we gathered at a luncheon organized by Alhaji Hamsa, our leader in the South West at that time. It was at that meeting we collectively decided that Bola should move from Lagos politics to the national stage, to represent the interests of the Yoruba people at the topmost level of Nigerian politics.”
